[Extreme Salt] "Cannot use the content. You were signed in to Playstation Network on another PS4. It will take some time until you can use the content on this PS4 with your license."
So I just bought a PS Pro so my wife could have her "game, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Vue" box in the bedroom and so I could play 4k games in the living room. But I just downloaded FFXV and after having to wait while it downloaded overnight, I get this ridiculous message telling me to simply "wait" for no other reason than because Sony can't get their shit together on account integration on the same network.
To top it off, there seems to be some serious confusion as to what "my" account actually is. A long time ago I had to create an account for my wife because a single game we played together required both of us to have separate accounts for coop. She's been logged into that account on the "old" Playstation, yet it's triggering this lock on the "new" Playstation for some mysterious reason.
The worst of this, however, is that we didn't have this problem with using the PS3 in the bedroom and the PS4 in the living room. So this is literally a punishment for purchasing a new product from Sony.
It's for these reasons that I immediately canceled my Playstation Vue (can't use it on two PS4s at the same time--but I can use it on a smart TV, a PS3, and a PS4 at once), will not purchase anymore digital games for my consoles (you don't really own them, do you?), and that the PS Pro will be the last console I will ever own (because apparently Sony specifically has something against people who spend money on more than one console).
I own those fucking games. They're mine. MINE. I paid for them and, nearly every time, more than I would if I bought a used copy at GameStop. I should be allowed to move from one goddamn room to another and play between my living room and my bedroom if I so desire. I own two Playstations, why the fuck is this a problem, Sony? Do you not like money? Do you make it a practice to punish people who spend money on your products?
It's 2017, how the shit do you not have a system that anticipates and embraces multiple devices in one household?

We have two PS4s in the same house. Same accounts on both machines. Never had any issues like this.
You're able to have both Playstations on the same account? How? Every time I try to log into one, the other gets logged out and everything I purchased is locked.
Everything purchased shouldn't be locked, but you can't login to the same account on the two consoles at the same time.
The only way to access the items I purchased is by accessing the account though. For example, currently I can access Vue from ps3, ps4, and my smart TV all at the same time and through the same account, but the moment I add a second ps4 to replace the ps3, the other ps4 goes bonkers.
Yeah, you can't access the same account on both PS4 at the same time. I tried that with my PS4 fat and pro. It automatically logs out the first console. I actually have a couple PSN account, so now I dedicated one for Vue only and the other one for games. If anyone uses Vue on my dedicated account, I can still play games on my other account. I think that the only way to go for you now.
