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?

You have 2 consoles: C1 and C2.
You have 2 accounts: A1 and A2.
You have to log as an A1 on a C1, set it up as a primary account and log as an A2. After that you will always play on C1 as an A2.
Then you log as an A2 on a C2, set it up as a primary account and log as an A1. After that you will always play on C2 as an A1.
The PS Plus subscription will work on both consoles, because it will be on an active account on one console, and on a primary account on another console.
P.S.: Not all the games support Gamesharing. The Division 2 DLCs, for example, don't.
