You need to link your Movies Anywhere account to your TV, streaming stick, game console, or other connected devices so you can watch the movies you’ve purchased or redeemed. Here’s how:
✅ 1. Download & Open the Movies Anywhere App
- On your smart TV, streaming device (Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, etc.), or gaming console, install the Movies Anywhere app if you haven’t already.
- Launch the app. (Movies Anywhere Help)
🔑 2. Get the Activation Code
When you open the app:
- Select “Sign In”.
- Look for the option that says “Get Code” (or similar).
- A unique activation code should appear on the screen.
🌐 3. Visit the Official Activation Page
On a computer, phone, or tablet (do not use the TV):
- Open a web browser.
- Go to: 👉 https://MoviesAnywhere.com/Activate
- Sign in to your Movies Anywhere account with your email and password.
- If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one at MoviesAnywhere.com or within the app on your device. (Movies Anywhere)
✔️ 4. Enter Your Activation Code
- Enter the activation code exactly as it appeared on your TV screen.
- Click Activate.
- In a few moments, your device will be linked to your Movies Anywhere account.
- Once linked, you can browse and watch your digital movies directly from the app on that device. (Movies Anywhere Help)
🛡️ Important Safety Notes
✔ Always go to MoviesAnywhere.com/Activate manually — don’t use search links, third-party sites, or unofficial pages. ✔ Never enter your code or login on sites that aren’t on the official MoviesAnywhere.com domain. ✔ If a site looks like a guide or landing page but doesn’t have “MoviesAnywhere.com” in the address, do not trust it with personal info.
📱 Alternative Sign-In Option
On some devices, rather than using an activation code, you can:
- Choose Sign In directly on the TV or device
- Enter your Movies Anywhere account email and password right on the screen
- Then you’ll be signed in without needing the activation code step. (Movies Anywhere Help)
