Example scenario: we have a customer with 10 windows machines, used by 10 different people.
They only need to use 2 mail boxes in the whole company: ******@customer.com and ******@customer.com

Does this mean i can just buy 2 Microsoft 365 business standard licences (1 for each mailbox) and install the office apps: onedrive, word, outlook etc... on the 10 devices?(they are all willing to share the same mailbox and onedrive with the limitations it )

If yes or no, could i please also get an article that CLEARLY explains how it works? Because it's not 100% clear on the website. Or maybe my understanding of what i read is wrong.

Thanks.

    No. The 5 installs can be used on different devices, but they are all tied in to the same user account. So the only way to get other people to use the same Office install is to share credentials, which is a violation of the license terms. What's technically possible is not always allowed.
