Does this mean ONE person has to file (under their account) for all 5 or can each one install software and do themselves under their own account? We all have our own TurboTax accounts.

Okay, even though I think you gave me my answer, let me rephrase my question:
I purchase the download version with 5 free efiles, download on my computer and do my filing, can I send my family member the download and the same license?
*all computers are personally mine*
The license restricts how it is be used. From the END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT TURBOTAX DESKTOP SOFTWARE – TAX YEAR 2022 -
C. Additional Restrictions. In addition to the restrictions in the Section A Terms:
When you purchase the TurboTax software the license for the software allows you to e-file up to 5 federal tax returns for free. After the 5 federal e-files any further tax returns can only be printed and mailed. The tax returns filed can be for anyone not just family.
The license allows you to only install the purchased TurboTax software on computers that you personally own.

You are confusing two things. The 5 e-files is an IRS requirement that applies to the CD/download installed on you computer - no TurboTax accounts are needed.
The 5 is enforced by several methods, IP address, computer MAC address, and other methods.
Online accounts are only good for one tax return and only one tax return can be filed from a single account.
