A question about Office 365 Licensing for 2 Microsoft Accounts

[Chartist]

Hi

I have a 5 user license and I'm currently using it on 2 devices. Both have the same Microsoft account login (Windows, Office and OneDrive). No issues.

I want to now use the 3rd and 4th of 5 licenses for my mother's computer and laptop. She has her own Microsoft account for logging on to Windows on her machines (which have no Office).

To confirm:
I will send her the invite email.
From her Microsoft Account, she will download and install Office on both devices
She will get her own 1 TB OneDrive space, and will NOT sync with me but between her 2 devices.
This will use up another 2 licences.

Is this correct or am I missing something?

yes
she will get 1TB storage , on her separate login - so nothing to do with your onedrive
Each of the 5 licenses get onedrive
Actually its now unlimited storage - change a couple of months ago - although still says 1TB
you just invite the other MSAccount to the account you have, as you detailed

is she using windows 8/8.1 - if so , then she will need to use a MSAccount to login to the PC
as onedrive is integrated into Windows 8/8.1
Unlike Windows 7 or 10 - where you can setup the account and password to use separately and therefor have a local account on the PC
To use a local account on W8/8.1 with onedrive - you need to use Syncdriver

thanks, @etaf.

is the second part of your answer ONLY about the case where someone does not want to use a Microsoft Account, or some other issue?

Windows 8/8.1 has onedrive integrated into the program by a APP
and in order to use onedrive , you have to login to the PC using a MSAccount
so if you have setup windows to use a local account - and so you dont need to enter a password
and the user name would be <username>
rather than and email like
name@outlook.com / hotmail etc

Then if you login with just a name
when you try and use onedrive - it wants to change the local account into a MSAccount.

I prefer to use a local account when setting up 8/8.1
But in order to be able to use onedrive
I install syncdriver
Then you setup syncdriver with an account and password - so it logs into the onedrive that way
and still autosyncs

windows 10 - if she upgrades - returns back to onedrive - where you login via the application and so can still use a local account

hope that answers
if not let me know
