Many Team accounts use Lucidchart and Lucidspark in tandem to visualize ideas and take their collaborative ideation to the next level. Here is how having a Team account with access to both products works.

Manage licenses for Lucidchart and Lucidspark

Imagine you have a Team plan with 15 licensed users. Five of them have Lucidchart licenses, five of them have Lucidspark licenses, and five of them have licenses to both products as illustrated below.

If a user has a Lucidchart license only, they cannot edit or create new Lucidspark boards.
If a user has a Lucidspark license only, they cannot edit or create new Lucidchart documents.
If you would like users to be able to edit and create new Lucidchart documents and Lucidspark boards, they need to be licensed for both products.
To join a Team account, a user has to be granted a license by the account owner or account admin.
When an unlicensed user wants to work on an account-owned document or board, they have the option to request a license and access a one-time, seven-day trial or leave the Team account.

Users who have used their free trial can submit another license request, but they will not be able to access any documents until they are granted a license. These users will also have the option to leave the Team account.
