signal-cli supports linking additional devices to your primary device. However, according to the [Signal Documentation](https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/wiki/Linking-other-devices-(Provisioning)) "Multiple mobile devices and Android tablets are not currently supported." So you may be limited to a certain number of linked devices. If you exceed that limit, you may get an "Authorization failed" error when trying to link additional ones.
Signal allows to link additional devices to your primary device. A "primary" program can be the official Signal app on a mobile device (e.g. Signal-Android), or an instance of signal-cli. A "linked" program can be Signal-Desktop, or an instance of signal-cli. Note that currently Signal allows up to _three_ linked devices per primary; attempting to link additional devices using signal-cli as a primary (with `signal-cli addDevice …`) leads to "Authentication failed" error.
