You have a digital license tied to your Microsoft Acc. It remains active on both your Windows 11 and Windows 10 machines, even after switching to a local account for a month. Since you're planning to clone it onto other PCs, the activation status should stay intact. If you want to keep it active without purchasing another Windows license, you may need to contact Microsoft support or check if there are any restrictions on cloning across different accounts.

It would violate the Terms of Service according to my understanding.

I understand your concern. Since the account is local, Microsoft may identify it and disable it.

Online access is likely the case. The guidelines state we can't assist with this because it goes against the restrictions set by the provider.

Ownership isn't important; activation depends on the device, and each machine requires its own license.
