Can a single license be used by 10 team members (if they access the same account)?

Our company is a self funded startup. We can no longer afford to pay a license for every team member. Someone told me that we can have one license and share it. Only one person could use it at a time...

To add to what Rich said if you breach the T&Cs (and discovered) your account is disabled with all information automatically removed permanently and is unrecoverable. 

 

The other huge security issue with this is that every single person that has that account password and username becomes 'owners' of the account. They could do anything with it - and you've given them the authority to do so by giving the password. So, if they wanted to they could literally wipe the data and permanently delete it / kick everybody else out and there is nothing anybody could do.... because they have the authority to do it.
