Can someone offer me some help me please?

Had a PS5 since launch, all good.

Bought a Pro upon release, original PS5 was put to one side and Pro became my primary console.
The Pro has my profile on it, plus my son has his own profile on it as well (he's 11)

The original PS5 has sat for a while due to some building work and stuff, son's bedroom is all finished now and the original PS5 is going in there, but I've no idea which is the best way to set it up in terms of profiles, can he use my PS plus account for downloading or streaming games or does he need his own?

Will his profile work on both consoles or is it one or the other? If he wants to buy a game it is linked to my account?
I doubt I'll ever use the PS5 in his bedroom

Sorry for the questions, but I've no idea of the best way to do it!

For some reason I appear to have encountered an issue with this and I can't get to the bottom of it.

PS5 Pro in living room, my profile and my sons profile both work fine on this console, no issues.
PS5 in bedroom, my profile plays everything fine, son's profile plays nothing - we get a prompt to buy any game we attempt to play.

It doesn't seem to matter which way I apply the home sharing setting either.

The PS app shows both consoles, but if I log into my PSN account in a browser it only shows 1 active console, but there's no way to see which one it is.

Head battered!
