Game is bought on an account but it's only on one computer
The game, Rainbow Six Siege, I have bought it, but it's on a different computer, I'm not sure if it is an issue with family sharing, but it still says "purchase" on the account of which I family shared with. I have no idea since it isn't in my library but on another computer and account's library.

I'm not even sure if it's shared, but family sharing shows the library of whoever you're sharing with, and I had it enabled.

Rainbow Six Siege cannot be family shared because it requires a Ubisoft account to play it.

Games that use third-party authentication (Ubisoft, EA, Rockstar, ...) cannot be family shared.

To play it, you need to log in with the account you had bought the game with.

Are you trying to login with right account and games is not there, because filter in home library only show installed and recent activated, you need to install it first and activate it, and then re-enable filter again.

atm, it look like as above user have told you 2 times, not all games is shareable, but you did not explan good enough with an account

i could also say "it isn't in my library but on another computer and account's library. say purcased " if that was what you ment. ( this mean you have filter on and cant see own title not installed. )

you are not the first and wont be the last with own home lib filter enable.

I can't install it because it says that I don't own it, even though I do, but it's on a different computer and it says that it's in my library but it isn't.

It can't be family shared, you have to download and play it on the account that originally bought it.

It is on the original account that bought it.

This is the right account and history
https://store.steampowered.com/account/licenses/
https://store.steampowered.com/account/history/

( Not other account ) then you confirm that then we know better and we still think you do not understand what 2 account issue and what is bought on each of them, technicaly we dont care iff you own both. ( its allowed to own multi account, as fare as i know steam will never change that. ) also will be a issue with them that already has more then 1 account.


ps.
we do know store page and with each game can add to library again on the right account that own the game or re-add F2P game again, but atm it dont seem to fit here, or do it.
