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...

Theoretically you can! For example using your mobile clients and the desktop at the same time

My question is similar. I have an Office 365 Home account currently with five active users of the six I am allowed. I am getting a second Windows laptop for myself to use at home. It will be under the same Microsoft Account, mine. Normally when I install on a new device it uses up an 'Install' on my Office 365 Account, but I was hoping that would not happen this time, and that it would count as a second device under me as a User. I'm a little unclear how this works.

thanks

Hi! A user is a user (account ) and every user has unlimited devices!

So you can install office on your devices and then use them with your account! As can the rest of the 5 users!

  Thank you for the response Adam
  Just to dig down on that a little bit. When I login to my 365 Account to set up Office 365 on my new laptop, while logged into Windows with my Microsoft Account, will Setup recognize me and not add a sixth and last user/device to my account?

    It will never auto login and create another account for you! You set up the users yourself and then choose which one you will activate it with! You can have two accounts on one device as well! Your naa account is not an office 365 account so it will not
