To share your PS4 games on two consoles, first, set the console you intend to share your games with as your primary PS4. On that console, log in with your account, go to Settings > Account Management > Activate as Your Primary PS4 and select Activate. This allows any user on that console to play the games you've downloaded. To play games on the second PS4, simply log in with your PSN account. Remember, you can only be logged in to one PS4 at a time while playing.
