Office 365 Home install on multiple computers?
Howdy, O365 Home is good for up to 6 users. However, if I have two laptops, can I install the office suite and Onedrive on both of them and log in with the same ID? Will it let me use them both at...
Yes! You can have 6 different user accounts which in turn can install office and onedrive on I belive now unlimited number of devices! This means you can use a onedrive client with your account on multiple devices! Basically everything will sync to all devices if not configured otherwise!
If used at the same time onedrive has its own mechanisms for sync conflict management!

So can I create an account and install Office/Onedrive on my laptop and my wife's laptop and my phone, and everything all under just my account? Then we can use the other 5 accounts for our parents or siblings or something like that?
- No, I believe that a license violation! Your account is yours and you can set up installations for your account on your multiple devices! The other members of the family needs their own account..
Also it’s not very beneficial! Using the same account means that everyone will have access to same data in 365, onedrive etc..Yeah, I know everyone would have access to all the same files. I'm more just wondering if I *could* do it that way. Not that I actually would. I didn't know if I open Word on laptop 1 and then I open Word on laptop 2, would it see two active sessions and make one not work or something like that.
- Theoretically you can! For example using your mobile clients and the desktop at the same time
