Digital Game Share between 2 units

I bought 2XBoxes for Christmas. One S & one X. When I buy digital games can I share them between the two units if I sign in with my same account?

Yes, if you are signed in on the console you can use the games on each console. However, you can only sign in to one console at a time. If you want someone else to be able to use the games you will need to make the console they will using your home xbox
and sign into the other one.

What I'd recommend to do is get your account on both Xboxs, set one as home Xbox and then another account on the opposite Xbox has access to both your digital games and subscriptions without the main account having to be signed in, meaning two people can
play the same game at the same time as long as it is digital. Steps of how to set an account as Home Xbox are as follows:

Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
Select System > Settings > General > Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.
Do either of the following:
- Select Make this my home Xbox to designate the console as your home Xbox.
- Select Remove this as my home Xbox to remove the designation.

When you change home consoles, all device licenses for digital content will move to your new home Xbox. These device licenses will no longer be available on your previous home Xbox. In other words, when you switch your home Xbox, access to your content
comes with you to your new home Xbox, and anyone signed in can enjoy it. Your previous home Xbox will still give your friends and family access to your stuff when you’re signed in to it.

She can, but you need to set the profile that bought the game as Home Xbox on the console on which it will play, which in this case is the secondary console of the account that purchased the game, if not set as Home Xbox, this profile is required to be
connected and online so your daughter can play

She could play it if you are signed in or the console is set as your home xbox. Other than that no she wouldn't be able to play them.
