# Can I have multiple accounts on the same device?

Only one Scriptation account can be active on a device at a time. There are two layers here — your Apple ID and your Scriptation account — and both follow the same one-per-device rule.

### Apple ID

Scriptation purchases (Industry Pro, AI Voices) are tied to the Apple ID signed in to the App Store on your device. To use a different Apple ID, you'd have to sign out of the device-wide Apple ID and sign in with another — which changes a lot more than just Scriptation, so it's not something we recommend doing routinely.

| 💡 TIP: If you and a colleague need to share a single Industry Pro subscription across personal devices, Apple's [Family Sharing](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201088) is the supported path.

### Scriptation Account (6.0+)

In **Scriptation 6.0**, a [Scriptation account](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-sign-in-to-my-scriptation-account-1tcgk5t/) is a separate sign-in used for cross-device features like [AI Voices](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-use-premium-ai-voices-for-playback-zic7cr/). Sign-in is handled through **Apple SSO** ("Sign in with Apple"), so the Scriptation account is tied to whichever Apple ID you choose during sign-in.

Only one Scriptation account can be signed in on a device at a time. To switch accounts, sign out of the Account tab in **Settings** and sign back in with a different Apple ID.

### Team and Team Studio Licenses

Team and Team Studio accounts work by license key, with a set number of activations. Switching between two Team or Team Studio accounts on one device means:

1. [Deactivating](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-deactivate-a-team-license-h7bhw6/) the current license;
2. [Activating](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-activate-a-team-license-1cw8ail/) the other license.

|| 📝 NOTE: For Team Studio, files are only accessible while the device is activated. Coordinate with your Team Studio Administrator before deactivating.

### Sharing Scripts Without Switching Accounts

You usually don't need to switch accounts to share files between users. Scriptation has several built-in ways to share scripts and annotations:

* [Cloud Storage](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-to-sync-files-across-devices-with-cloud-storage-rj94v/) for syncing your own files across devices;
* [Export](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-export-my-script-1j6x4mv/) to send a copy with all annotations baked in;
* [Shareable Layers](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-to-share-layers-with-export-14uqv6c/) to send just your annotations;
* [Live Layers](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-are-live-layers-1fowibn/) for real-time collaboration with other Scriptation users.
