There's a $100/year version of Office (family??) that includes 5 licenses that can each install it on 5 devices and also get 1tb of cloud storage. Last time I checked, there was no requirement that these people all belong to the same family, but you should check this yourself.

Microsoft365 Family is 6 licenses (users) on 5 devices each and 1 GB each.

"Microsoft 365 Family subscribers can share subscription benefits with up to five other people. You can send an invitation or add people to your Microsoft family to share your benefits. Once they accept the invitation, they can install Microsoft 365 apps on their devices and access their own 1 TB of OneDrive storage

Thanks for the links! The regular MS site has not been updated yet. All of the apps get updated when you do a "Check for Updates" but that official site is still at version 16.74.1.
How do you find these things so quickly! Amazing
Edit: the regular MS Office site has now been updated to include 16.7.5
