How do you activate Office 365 "for the rest of the household"?

Question

A single Office 365 subscription apparently "covers the entire household": "You can each sign-in with your individual Microsoft accounts using your settings and accessing your documents, but you still need just one subscription".

I bought it with my account, hence I guess there should be some way to tell it which other accounts are part of my household, so that they can download it. However, I haven't found anything like that in the web interface. So, how do I install the copies for the rest of the family?

Please refer to the following link and look for the section called "Ability to use Office on up to 5 PCs or Macs shared among all users in the home".

Install Office 365 Home Premium on a family member's computer

The Relevant Sections:

On the computer where you want to install Office, go to Office.com and sign in with your Microsoft Account.
Now, anyone who uses this computer will have a full copy of Office. All they need to do is open an Office program and sign in with their Microsoft Account.

Ok, I misread that article. The relevant part is: "Ability to use Office on up to 5 PCs or Macs shared among all users in the home". – o0'. Oct 15 '13 at 07:37

I've also added some bits which were the focus of my confusion. – o0'. Oct 17 '13 at 12:44
