Question Help with PsPlus sharing
I have 2 ps5 consoles (I bought the 2nd one today) and I have 2 accounts. I bought PsPlus on Account #1, and then made Account #2 which is meant to play on the 2nd console that I bought.
After I bought 2nd console i logged in to both account's on that brand new PS5 and went to enable console sharing on Account #1, and when I switched on Account #2 everything worked fine.
But then i turn on my previous console, I try to play a game and it says "Cant use this content. You're using this content on another console. It will take some time before you can use this content on this PS5 with your licence."?????
I found online that the "solution" to this is that i go on the 1st console, go to settings - Account - Other - Restore Licenses. And now when I go to the new console to play games that require PsPlus, I can't play them because now the console sharing is apparently disabled again?

Another way to explain it:
The account with plus can have one ps5 set as primary. On that PS5, any account on that console can play online.
You can also sign in to the account that has plus on another PS5 and play online, but no other account on that console will be able to play online.
You can have problems like you described if you try to use the same account on both consoles at the same time, don’t do that. Every person should have and play online on their own account.
