    The new account is not getting Microsoft 365 because subscription benefits do not automatically move when accounts are changed or removed from a family group.

    Key points:

    1. A Microsoft 365 subscription is tied to a single Microsoft account
      • One Microsoft account can have only one active Microsoft 365 for home subscription (Family or Personal).
      • The subscription cannot be transferred from one Microsoft account to another.
    2. Removing/adding accounts in Microsoft Family does not move the subscription
      • If the old account was the subscription owner, removing it and adding a new account does not give the new account the 365 license.
      • When someone is removed from sharing, they lose the Microsoft 365 benefits and will see unlicensed/subscribe messages.
    3. How to give the new account Microsoft 365 Family benefits
      • Sign in with the account that owns the Microsoft 365 Family subscription at the Services & subscriptions page.
      • Use “Share your Microsoft 365 Family subscription” and send an invitation to the new account.
      • The new account must accept the invitation. After acceptance, it will get:
        • 1 TB OneDrive storage
        • Rights to install and use the desktop Office apps
      • If sharing is stopped later, that account will again lose these benefits and see subscription prompts.
    4. If the goal is to change the subscription owner
      • An existing Microsoft 365 subscription cannot be transferred to another Microsoft account.
      • To change the owner, recurring billing on the current subscription must be turned off and allowed to expire, then a new subscription must be purchased with the new account and shared again as needed.
