Oops - I misinterpreted what Nest Home 1, 2 and 3 were!

OK, I just updated a defunct Venstar T1700 thermostat under Indigo control to a Nest 3rd Generation Thermostat, and decided it was time to get the Nest Home Plugin; I also have 9 Nest Protects in the house (boiler room, finished basement, kitchen, upstairs hallway, 5 bedrooms).
Assuming (hold the old jokes please) that Nest Home 1, Nest Home 2, and Nest Home 3 were somehow related to which generation thermostat I was installing, I downloaded, installed, generated an API key and am completely functional with the Nest Home 3 plugin. All seems to work well, except that I had to poke around to find why the devices have an active "Edit Setting" that looks for your other "iFindStuff GeoFence" plugin which I do not have or need.
I then realized that the Nest Home 3 was presumably for those who have 3 different locations under a single Nest account.
Do I need to remove all the devices, uninstall the plugin, and reinstall Nest Home, and if I do so, can I just copy out the API key and reuse it? Or, should/can I just live with the Nest Home 3 plugin, even though I have only a single location?
