We frequently have interns and part-time workers join us for short periods, and we're still relying on shared logins for some of our tools. I'm wondering if there's a better strategy to manage access for them without having to purchase full licenses for each individual. Any suggestions?

Seriously, don’t share accounts. You could get hit with fines if a former intern reports you. Just manage the licenses properly from the start. It's a smarter way to handle it.
Look into getting a lower-priced SKU that still fits the needs of your temporary staff. It could be a cost-effective solution while keeping compliance in check.
Make individual accounts for everyone! Consider streamlining the onboarding and offboarding process to get it done quickly—like an automated system that takes under five minutes would be great!
I'd recommend against trying to cut corners here. Just buy enough licenses for your staff and reallocate them as interns come and go. It avoids any TOS violations and saves you future headaches if someone reports your practices.
Honestly, sharing accounts isn't a good idea. It's better to reassign licenses as needed or check if your tools allow for seat-based licensing instead of per-account licensing. That could save you some hassle.
Exactly! Trying to save a quick buck could end up costing you way more later.
