A pairing code does not work

What each pairing message means, and what to do next.

Code not found
The code is wrong, has expired or was already used. A code works once, for 10 minutes. Start pairing again on the PC and use the new code.
Too many wrong codes
After 10 wrong codes in an hour, Ponta stops you confirming codes for that hour. Wait an hour, then start pairing again on the PC.
Your plan is full
Your plan already has as many PCs as it covers. Remove a PC or choose a bigger plan. Your code still works after that, until it expires.
Choose another name
Use up to 48 letters, numbers, dots, dashes or underscores, with no spaces. The name cannot end in -admin.
Your sign-in expired
Sign in again, then type the code.
