Hello, I hired a producer to help me finish. My tracks use NI. Can we share authorizations? I can't afford to pay for another account.
here’s the rules , EULA
Basically, you can install products on two computers, maschine and komplete on 3 computers, you can only use one at a time .

Hello,
while, typically, you can not share authorizations, there is a way for both of you to use them (under the same account):
Native Instruments products can generally be installed on different computers with the same license, but with some important conditions.
Number of installations:
Simultaneous Use is NOT Allowed:
You are not permitted to use your installations simultaneously on multiple computers. The license is for a single user, and you can only use the software on one computer at a time. For you, it means that, you and your producer can work alone on different hours, but not together at the same time.
Replacement of Computers:
If you replace an old computer, you don't necessarily need to "deactivate" the software on the old one. However, according to the license agreement, you are required to uninstall the product from the previously used computer. If a computer crashes and you can't uninstall, you can still activate it on the new computer while maintaining your allowed number of activation.
Native Access:
You use Native Access to manage your installations. You will log in with the same Native Instruments account on each computer, as your serial number is linked to your account.
External Drives:
For large libraries like those in Komplete, you can often install the content on an external hard drive and then "locate" it with Native Access on different computers, saving you from re-downloading huge files.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In summary, you can have Native Instruments software installed on a few of your personal computers (like a desktop, a laptop, and a workstation), but you can only actively use it on one at any given moment.
It is always a very bad idea to share your account with someone else. Not to mention that it may be against NI's ToS or EULA. Just… don't do that.
Ideally, your hired person owns the same plugins and instruments.
If that's not the case, then you could also probably just bounce your tracks to audio.
"Not to mention that it may be against NI's ToS or EULA"
I was also wondering about it… Well, unless if i misunderstood something, nope. Not specifically. It only mentions a "single user" at a time (aka a single account). Which is unclear, because there is no way for anyone to know which person is sitting on the computer (example: 2 friends sharing the same house).
