    2nd PC install. Licenses

    Hi
    Difficult to find info in MSFS sites. Now that I spend a lot of time in secondary home decided to buy a second pc and install MSFS. So I looked for info about versions content (own Premium de Luxe but really donīt need airliners) only found this in "Toms Guide) and not able to find if I will need to buy another license or just log in into my Microsoft account on 2nd pc. Found something about creating a family, others about log into account, others about license transfer. Nothing plainly clear. Bought my version on MS Store.
    Need help please.Thanks

    You can just log into your Microsoft account that you used to purchase the game and redownload it via the Microsoft store. All of your settings, logbook etc should carry over as well as they are tied to your Microsoft account.

    You can probably get a concrete answer over at the official forum. I have read that if two people share a 'puter with different accounts, then both need to buy a license or one needs to be logged in as the other. I don't think I've read anything about one person using the same license on multiple rigs.

    So long as you are not trying to use the game on the same account on both computers at the same time, I am 100% certain you can download and install Flight Simulator (or anyone game on the Microsoft Store, as well as Xbox) to multiple devices. If you try to launch the game on a second device while you are logged in on another device, it will ask you if you want to sign out on one of the devices. The game is bound to your Microsoft account, not the device you are using. This has been the case since Windows 10 launched.
