Office 365 to be shared to my daughter.

I have purchased a personal Office 365 license , and it seems that I can share this license to my family,, but I don't know how to share this to my daughter, as she has her own mail address. I tried to share , including her in my family, but for some reason she cannot use the Office 365 and OneDrive for her only.

It would depend on the type of license you purchased if you purchased the Office 365 Family subscription then yes you can share the subscription with up to 5. However if you just purchased the personal subscription it will not allow you to share.

If you have the family subscription this is how you share.

Your daughter's troubles may depend on which version of Office 365 you purchased.

Personal version allows 1 person to install on up to five devices (computers, virtual machines, phones, tablets). Your daughter is out of luck.
Family version allows up to 6 family members to each install on up to five device. This version permits your daughter to enjoy Office 365.

Neither of these SKUs is licensed for business use.

Assuming that you purchased the Family version, you log into your Microsoft 365 account and follow the instructions there to add your daughter as a user. Microsoft will then send your daughter an email with instructions on how to complete the installation.
