    Hi! Let me help you with this issue.

    You can install Microsoft 365 on a second device by signing in with the same Microsoft account that is linked to your subscription. Please open a browser and go to the Microsoft account services page at https://account.microsoft.com/services

    , and then sign in with your account. When you're signed in, look for your Microsoft 365 subscription and click the Install button to download the installer. After the file downloads, open it and follow the prompts to install the Office apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, on the new device. When the installation is complete, open any Office app and sign in with the same Microsoft account to activate it. If you happen to reach the device limit, you can go back to the same services page, choose Manage installs, and sign out of a device you no longer use before installing it on the new one.

    To install Microsoft 365 on a second device (Mac or PC), use the same subscription account that was used on the first device:

    1. On the second device, go to the Microsoft 365 apps page and sign in with the same work, school, or personal Microsoft account associated with the subscription.
    2. Select Install apps > Microsoft 365 apps (or similar option such as Premium Microsoft 365 Apps depending on the subscription type).
    3. This downloads the installer (for Windows, an OfficeSetup.exe; for Mac, the corresponding Office installer package).
    4. Open the downloaded installer file and follow the on-screen steps to complete installation.
    5. After installation, start any Microsoft 365 app (for example, Word) and sign in with the same account if prompted.

    For Microsoft 365 Family or similar consumer subscriptions, Microsoft 365 can be installed on all devices, but only signed in on up to five devices at the same time. If more than five devices are in use, one of the earlier devices is signed out automatically; just sign back in on any device to continue using it.

    For detailed platform-specific steps, see the installation guidance in the referenced articles.
