Once I use one of my Microsoft 365 Family Sharing options on a device, do I get it back if I later uninstall it from that device?

I have a Microsoft 365 Family subscription. I can share Microsoft 365 with up to 5 family members. One of my family has access to a laptop that he will only use temporarily, then has to give back. It doesn't have Microsoft, so I want to install Microsoft 365 on it for him. I want to know if this is permanent one of my 5 sharing options, or whether I can get this sharing option back if I subsequently uninstall Microsoft 365 from that laptop.

    On your Microsoft Account Devices page, you can disable devices from which you have removed Microsoft 365. Then you can install on a new device.
