Your Netflix ready devices and computers.

Netflix can be setup to watch instantly on up to 6 unique devices: Including personal computers and Netflix ready devices such as Xbox 360, an iPhone (or iPad) using the newly released iPhone app. With all the possiblities you now have to watch Netflix instantly on various devices, you may find yourself quickly maxing out the 6 devices you are allowed to watch Netflix instant on.  Luckily Netflix allows you to deactivacte any of your devices directly from your Netflix account.

Here's how you can manually de-register devices you no longer wish to use for watching instantly.

  1. Login to your Netflix account, then click on Your Account & Help link located in the upper-right.
  2. Now click on Manage Netflix ready devices and computers.
  3. You should now see a listing of all your Netflix activated devices and computers. 
  4. To deactivate a device simply click on the Deactivate button for the device, and then confirm that you want to deactivate that device in the pop-up box.
  5. That's it!

Keep in mind, any deactivated devices can always be reactivated later if you wish to resume using it.

I did this and no devices are shown, it only offers to activate or deactivate all. When I click on Deactivate All the oprion to deactivate goes away, but my Blue Ray player and PS3 still play Netflix. I did try using the devices within 5 minutes of deactivating all, maybe you need to allow a longer period for there records to update?
But I would prefer to deactivate individual devices than to do them all each time.

Rugbyball pretty much said all I wanted to share here. This wasn't always the case however. Before, I was able to see a list of all computers and Netflix ready devices registered to my account. The change must have happened a few months back. Please fix this Netflix.

Yeah i don't like the deactivate all option. I want it b ack to when you could deactivate just one. Why they go and change that?

The netflix menu does not allow you to deactivate a single device (unless you have only one). I had a ROKU player I wanted to remove from my account. The way I did it was: I used a paper clip and stuck it in the ROKU reset hole on the bottom (some ROKU units might have a reset button instead) and held it in for 30 seconds, then pulled the power cable and re-inserted the power cable. Then it prompted me to go through the entire setup. So it has no idea what my netflix account is any more.

I would guess there are ways to reset other devices.
