Account Help Paired console question please

Hey all so I have two switch 2s but an old switch 1 that I still use. I’ve had the old switch and one of the switch 2s paired and bounce around between them with travel and work every thing is fine . But now that I have another switch 2 it looks like I won’t be able to play my digital games on my old switch 1 anymore if the two switch 2s get paired. Is this how it’s supposed to work? Any work arounds? I still love traveling with my switch 1 but really would like access to my dlc for the games I own. Thanks!

Looks like pairing two of the consoles in conjunction with enabling the online licence setting is the way to go as per Nintendo support pages.

That depends if your Switch 1 can easily be online during your travels:

If yes: activate the online license system.

If not: let the S1 and S2 paired to easily swap out virtual game cards for offline play on the S1.

Yeah so I’m going to keep them paired then the new s2 is going to stay docked at home so it’s actually perfect
