I set up a friends PS4 as he has no internet using my PSN account on my internet but now I see I cant use these free games I downloaded unless I "Activate as Your Primary PS4" for offline gaming which means using my PSN account, is there a way to make an account with a free email like gmail and to transfer all I have downloaded to work with this new PSN account I would make? There is about 100 GB I have downloaded and I dont have the time to re download everything before Xmas, I have made another use account on the new PS4 but it says I have to be using my user account to play what I have there..... I dont really use my PSN account much these days as I only have a PS3 that sees next to no use but my account has my email address linked to it would it be ok to just use my account and email or is there a way to make and use a new PSN account and transfer everything to the new one?
 
once i "activate as your primary PS4" will I be able to do this again in the future if I need to if my friend gets the internet at his home and keep all settings or will he have to make a PSN account and then somehow transfer everyhting to his account?
 
The only way you will get it to work is if you activate your friends as your primary. You will still have access to all your games console and your psn id on your ps4 and ps3. He will be able to play your games under his own psnid.

Thanks Dmadman72, this part of what you said made sense to me "The only way you will get it to work is if you activate your friends as your primary." but.... "You will still have access to all your games console and your psn id on your ps4 and ps3. He will be able to play your games under his own psnid" - its his PS4 and should I now make a PSN Id for him?!? Lol never mind I get the gist now I activate it as a primary PS4 and his new user ID will work along side mine, right?
 
Yes. as long as you use his system as your primary he will be able to play all of your games under what ever PSN id he chooses. He could make a million PSN id's and play your games with every one of them as long as he is playing on your primary PS4. You will only be able to play your games under your PSN id however as you will not be playing on your primary system but as long as you use your PSN id you can play your games on any system anywhere in the world. I know reading this might cause the vein in your forehead to pulse a little harder but it works. I have two boys Joe's console is Bruce's primary and vice versa. They both have access to each others games with no problems(unless PSN goes down) Then they can't access their personal games but can access each others. Hopefully that is as clear as mud.
