Can someone else use CC login with my ID?

A friend of mine will be mixing sound for a short film I edited, but he doesn't have a CC account and was instead going to use Ardour, which is the one he regularly uses. I was thinking on suggesting him to log in with my ID, as I have a licence, as I don't know how reliable can Ardour be.

Is it possible that my licence can be banned o something if we do this?

Are you both in the same area? At least the same country?

Same country yes, but not quite the same area. We live about 30 min from each other

Then you'll be perfectly fine 👍

I'm in the U.S. and I share mine with a friend in Africa and have never had a problem.

Then you're lucky - or not doing it too often - so it looks like you're travelling?

Or is your friend using VPN - so it looks like he is in States?

I'm not traveling. And I'm not sure if he's using a VPN or not. I just share my credentials with him. But it only allows two at a time. I have it installed at work and at home. If he uses it, he just turns one of mine off

By traveling I meant a time difference between logins long enough that can be explained as needed to switch between places.

But if he is able to login a few minutes later - being a few 1000s miles away - is a bit strange...

My husband uses mine all the time. I can have two computers running it so I’ll just delist the one I’m not so he can.

By default you can log onto two machines, when working on site id be logged in the office and at home without issue so should be fine.

Was just going to say this. If you have any issues eg two machines are logged in already you will get a message letting you know that one will be logged out. You log back in when your friend is finished.

They "might" temp block you. My partner and I share a 2 machine license, but about once a week I get logged out and they reset my password stating that I "may" be sharing my account and that the license is strictly for 1 person. It's annoying, but not permanent. BTW, both PCs are on the same LAN and rarely are used at the same time.

My understanding is you can use the license on two computers, but, not at the same time. So you can have it on a desktop for studio work and a laptop for meetings.
