How to use multiple accounts of the same user in office 365

Hi, I have a personal office 365 user subscription which I use in my old laptop. (Old Microsoft id say A1)
Now I have bought a new laptop wherein I signed into windows with a new Microsoft id say A2. Now I want to use the office 365 subscription in my new account A2 along with the old account A1. How do I do it? As per the subscription policy one Microsoft 365 account can be used by one user in 5 devices. How do I do it? Can someone suggest

  • That rule applies to the same user account, not multiple ones. In your case, you need to login with the "old" account.

      Thanks vasil, however how do I do that in my new laptop. It has a new Microsoft id say A2 and the office 365 subscription is on id A1.
      Are u suggesting I’ll have to take a family pack and deal with Microsoft ids A1 and A2 as 2 independent users?
