Windows 10: Sharing MS Store purchases with family

I purchased a copy of Minecraft with my parent account and was told that it could be shared with family members on my PC however I don't see an option to install it on my child account when I login. Can you tell me how I can do this?

:)

 

Can't find a purchased app on a family member log on

Hello Lisa,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

One of the many benefits of having a Microsoft account is a family group, which gives you access to family features and Settings. To share an application on a different account, kindly follow the steps listed below and check if it works:

• Initially, sign in to the child’s account on the computer and login to Microsoft Store using the Microsoft account that was used to purchase the game.
  
• After logging in to Store, under the Microsoft Account you will see the list of
  Purchased Apps which can be installed for the signed in user.
  
• Open Settings and select Your Account, click on
  Sign out option which would return the Store Settings to revert to the user account.
  

Additional Information: You may refer the article on

You can probably share the app with your family member and that should in theory also share the purchase with them:
