I do not know how to activate VPN on my other devices.

Hello,

Today I purchased the VPN for 10 devices. I did it through the program AVG on the computer, Windows 8.1.

Now, my question is, how do I activate it on my other devices? Smartphone Galaxy S10 plus, Tablet Samsung, and other devices that I keep. 

I have installed on my computer the AVG Internet Security. Following the instructions, I activated the VPN only on the program on the computer. I do not know how to do it on the devices.

Thanks, 
Sylvia

Dear Hari,
I couldn't imagine I would get such a complicated answer to such a simple question as mine. I appreciate your good will in helping me, but you forget I am a user without any technical knowledge. All the links you inserted in your answer got me in a labirinth of possibilities and none of them resolved my question.
I paid about $48 from within my AVG Internet security installed in my computer Windows 8.1 for AVG Secure VPN (Multi-Device). For 10 devices. Initial 2-year subscription, then billed annually.
Is this amount only for the computer? By the way, I have activated the VPN within the Internet Security. If so, why am I paying for installing it on my phone or other devices? How am I supposed to go to the Mobile Team and fill in a form and choosing "Android and fill in other requested details. Finally, click on "request answer via email" which will submit a ticket to our mobile team.
Please refer this article to submit your queries".....
I don't have an App on my phone.
Please clarify all this, I will be modt grateful.

Dear Dinesh and dear Hari,
Thank you for your help. People from Avg Mobile helped me, but rereading both your instructions I understand that they were clear enough.and I could have followed them.  It is very easy, and it is done. Thank you again.

Thank you, Nisha.
I have just forgotten another question and it is directed to anyone of the AVG awesome guys here.
Do those other security protection apps like Security Master or Clean Master whatever, that are installed on my mobiles, and I guess they come built-in, do they cause any conflict with AVG VPN? Samsung security protection keeps sending alerts calling those apps "malware" and asking to change them for their (Samsung's) apps. Is it possible to uninstall SM / CM?? 
Thank you in advance for your kind reply.
