Windows 10: Family sharing of purchased games

My kids love Minecraft. I purchased minecraft on my iphone and it allowed them to download it on their iPads without having to purchase it again. If I purchase Minecraft on my computer, will my kids, who are a part of my family in Microsoft, be able to download it and play it without having to purchase it again? If so, I will purchase it to share across our computers. However, if that is not possible I won't buy the game at all for our computers. Answers?

Unable to purchase on Microsoft Store with a Family account.

Thank you for your response. There are other games that allow you to purchase using the Microsoft funds that you transferred to a member of your Family.
If you don't have sufficient money in your Microsoft account to complete a transaction, you must use another form of payment registered with your Microsoft account to cover the remaining purchase amount, charge the entire purchase to the other payment
option in lieu of your account balance, or add additional value to your Microsoft account.

To ensure that the child account is allowed to purchase a content online, you have to check and change the restriction settings on the account by following the steps below:

• Sign in to your account on the
  Microsoft Family page.
• Find your child’s name and select More options > Spending >
  Change content restrictions.
• Change the restrictions settings and allow the account to purchase.

If you are still unable to purchase the game, there is a possible issue with your profile or the billing information. We recommend that you contact Xbox Chat Support to securely check your account and the child account.

Keep us updated with the results after performing the suggested solutions above.

 

Game share/Family gold share

Microsoft Family sharing and play anywhere

I purchased Gears of war 4 from Microsoft store which I am playing on my gaming laptop and don't own Xbox one. I would like to play this game with my sons on another 2 PCs.

I have successfully added everyone to Microsoft family and installed the game using my account signed into Microsoft store. Switching the store account back to my sons is also fine, it recognizes them in family and shows the Play button.

What I am unsure about is playing online simultaneously. It works fine for the most part but every so often one of PCs will exit the game back to desktop with no errors or anything. This might be due to long list of issues this game has had with graphics
drivers or what not.

Can anyone clarify if it is OK to do this under family sharing or will I have to purchase 2 more copies of the game and if the game quitting could be because of 3 people playing simultaneously?

Just to clarify, everyone is logging onto their computers with their outlook account, xbox app and store as themselves.
