Office 365 Home install on multiple computers?
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

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

- How do get the same Outlook emails and contacts on my second computer which is already set up.
kudos to Adam he answered all your questions with patience xD
Sorry Adam, I must be dense.. I guess I'll just have see what happens. thanks anyway,
- It will not detect anything until you login to office with your account! If you login to office after install it will add the device to the list! If you login to office with another account it will add the device to that account
Sorry, I was not clear. I login to my new laptop for the first time with my existing Microsoft Account. I then login to the Microsoft Account website where it shows my Office 365 Account information, number of installs (there are currently 5) payment options, etc, Now I run Setup Office to this device. Will it add another User to the list or will it detect that it is me installing Office a second time on another device?
- 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
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?
