Multiple Sonos systems require multiple Prime Music Unlimited accounts

I wonder if a solution on your end of the problem might be workable?

Maybe a VPN between your home network and office network?

A couple points to make on this.

First I don’t think you are required to have multiple accounts for multiple locations. You could setup a speaker at your primary location with a single account, then bring it over to the secondary location and it still would be operating under the original single account. You can then add speakers to the same account at both locations.  I’m not sure this is ideal, but I believe it’s possible.  Someone correct me if I’m wrong on this.  You could also setup multiple households under the same account, but I don’t think this would help to resolve the issue at hand.

Second, I don’t think reason for the 1 Sonos account to 1 Amazon account rule is tied to the number of concurrent steams you can have.  Other streaming services allow you to connect your account to multiple Sonos accounts.  If you have a family account, you can have multiple streams from the same account to the same Sonos account.  And you can connect multiple Amazon accounts to a single Sonos account.  What you can’t do is tie 1 Amazon account to multiple Sonos accounts.  And that likely has to the Alexa integration with Sonos.  A lot of the voice functionality and control of the speakers gets a lot more complicated, surely from a development standpoint, but also a ease of use standpoint.  You could setup Alexa groups, but have to specifiy which Sonos account you want to pick speakers from etc.  

And sure, maybe you don’t care about Alexa integration at all, but it seems Amazon has a strong tie between their streaming services, and you can’t really have have a streaming account without Alexa, whether you use it or not.

I imagine Google operates the same way.  Apple may as well, but I have no idea.  I don’t think it would be an issue for Spotify or other services that use casting.

In summary, I don’t think you’ve identified what the technical issue is, and I don’t think it’s a problem that Sonos can really solve as it’s an Amazon issue. And I’m not sure it’s really an issue if you setup both your locations under the same Sonos account.

I use a single Sonos Household/System at multiple locations and can operate Alexa and Amazon HD/Untra HD music service (individual subscription) at each location. You do need multiple Amazon accounts though, if you have chosen to use a separate Sonos Household/System, but there is certainly no requirement to do so from a Sonos perspective at this moment in time.
 

In summary it’s one Alexa/Amazon account per Sonos Household. The answer is to extend the HH across multiple locations, as Danny mentions in his post.
 

The one ‘minor’ issue I have, is I also have a Sonos HH for my S1 setup at our main Home and can’t use Alexa/Amazon Music with that old/separate system/household… so I currently use Google services with that setup instead.

Thanks all.  I do have a single Sonos account and the S2 apps for that account works with both systems when I’m on the respective WiFi at each location.  Just to verify, I have an Arc with 2 Sonos 1 and a Sub in the main house and a Beam with 2 Sonos 1 at the condo.  S2 works fine and if I use the S2 app to initiate music from Prime Music Unlimited single user account, the music plays on both systems wherever I am located.  However, if I try to use Alexa and voice commands to play PMU music through the systems, it works on the Arc system at the main house but not the Beam system in the Condo.  Alexa acknowledged my request and says she is playing it in the condo but no music plays.  Other threads indicate that I need a family plan of PMU (which costs more) and each system would need separate Amazon accounts.  This is my issue, I don’t want to pay for a family plan when we are only ever going to stream on one system at a time - main home or condo.  I can use the S2 app to work both and listen to PMU that way, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having an Alexa enable voice control device.

You do of course need the same Sonos account, which you have in place, but you also need to put all devices in the same Sonos ‘Household’ too - it sounds like you have them in different HH’s - A test is that you will be able to move any speaker to any location and it will work at either place alongside every other speaker present at the location.

As noted in my follow up comment, I do have both systems under one Sonos account.  I can use the S2 app to control both when I’m on the same network as the system (main or condo) with the same Prime Music Unlimited account.  What does not work is asking Alexa on the condo unit to play something from PMU (which works on home system) because while Alexa acknowledges and says now playing…. nothing ever plays.  I wish I knew the technical issue so I could address, but I’ve tried changing settings on the S2 app for the system, I’ve tried changing on the Alexa app for the system under devices to no avail.  In fact, I even made sure the settings for both systems were identical and still cannot get the condo system to play music with voice commands from PMU or even an enabled streaming skill like Pandora.  I can say Hey Sonos play Pandora and no issue but nothing when I ask Alexa to do it.  You’ve indicated it’s an Alexa issue but I have no problem doing it on my Echo devices so it’s clearly an issue in the skill with Sonos.  There are many other threads in the community around this same issue and all the one’s I’ve checked so far say the same thing about the need to have one Sonos account for one Amazon account.  One even mapped it out as Sonos account A with Amazon account X and Sonos account B with Amazon account Y.  The authors have indicated that worked for them but all had family subscriptions with Amazon that allowed them to share the PMU streaming with other family Amazon accounts, and that’s the rub as it costs extra to have a family subscription.

Thanks @Ken_Griffiths I picked up on @melvimbe use of household and thought he was using that synonymously with account but see now there are two different things.  Unfortunately, not sure how to create/manage a household account.  Googled it and it says it should be in the app under Settings” > “My Household” > “Create Household” in the Sonos app but I don’t see that in my app and I even checked for app updates. Suggestions on how to try that?

I am worried that this still won’t address the concern I have as your earlier comment said it will still require separate Amazon accounts.  This means I have to upgrade from an individual subscription to a family subscription as Amazon doesn’t allow you to share and individual PMU subscription with a family member.

You can do it with one "individual" Amazon music subscription if you put all under both the same Account and Sonos HH, at each of your locations - you don’t need the Amazon Music family account if you set things up as described.

I can’t find anywhere to define or manage a Sonos HH.  I have one account and as far as I know it is in a single Sonos HH as I’ve never defined it otherwise.  Where do I go to adjust the HH settings as I can’t find them on my S2 app nor is there anything under my profile on the website.

You only need one Sonos Account and one Amazon account. Think of it as though you had setup one entire system at your Home and then added a second ‘Office’ WiFi network credentials to your speakers… you then take half the Sonos system to work, where the speakers (and mobile/App) immediately connect to the work WiFi, but still use the same Sonos/Amazon/Alexa accounts - that’s perhaps the easiest way to explain it to you.
