# Manage your account and team

Use one company license to give people across your organization their own access to CSI Dynamic Standards.

## How company access works

A company owner or administrator purchases one company license, then shares its license key so other people in the organization can create their own platform accounts under that license.

> **In simple terms**
>
> The company license key connects each person's individual account to the same organization license.

## Access the platform after purchasing

If you signed up on theconstructionstandard.com and purchased the company license, your account was linked to the CDS Platform when the company license key was created. You do not need to sign up again.

Open [standards.theconstructionstandard.com](https://standards.theconstructionstandard.com) and sign in with your existing account.

## Share your company license key

1. Open your [Dashboard](/profile).

2. Open **CDS Platform**.

3. Copy the **Company license key**.

4. Send teammates the CDS Platform signup link and license key, or use **Invite teammates** to send an invitation.

Share the key only with people who are authorized to use your organization's license. Each person should create their own account instead of sharing login credentials.

## Sign up with a shared license key

Use these steps if someone shared a company license key with you and you did not purchase the license yourself.

1. Go to [standards.theconstructionstandard.com/web/signup](https://standards.theconstructionstandard.com/web/signup).

2. Create an account with your own email address.

3. Enter the company license key when prompted.

4. Sign in to the CDS Platform with your new account.
