Hey everybody.
I have some questions about having multiple PS4 consoles that I need answering. I've done some Google-Fu, but I'm still unclear on how this works.
Here goes.
I've had an original PS4 for years now. Yesterday, I bought a PS4 Pro. We have four users in our house (all with PSN accounts). My PSN account (flsomerv) is the main account. I make all of our purchases on it. It is also the only account that has a PS+ subscription. I want to be able to play Dark Souls 3 online on the PS4 with one PSN account (not the main, doesn't have PS+) and play Dark Souls 3 online on the PS4 Pro with a different PSN account (not the main, doesn't have PS+). Can I do that without (1) having to purchase the game again, and (2) without having to purchase a separate PS+ subscription?
If I have to, I'll break down and buy another PS+ subscription and another copy of DS3, but I'd rather save a bit of $$ if I can just share the game on both the PS4 and the PS4 Pro consoles. It's fine to shell out the extra $$ for a game or two, but will I have to purchase two copies of every game I want to play online multiplayer with? That could add up quick.
Any help is appreciated.

I think one account can be shared across two consoles and two handhelds. So you'd have to deactivate the account already on the other PS4 and then link your main account to it.

You have to set your main account (which you purchase stuff from) to the new PS4 Pro as the main account.
That way you can download you games on the other system.
I still think you need to have a separate ps plus subscription if you want to play online with it on a different account. (but dont quote me on this.)
This is what my brother and I do with our systems, the games I buy i buy with my own account, which is logged in on my PS4. My account is set as the main account on his system, so he can download all this games and play them on his system as well. However he has his own PS plus subscription.
