@vrrory all applications are UWP's and capable for being shared on the Windows Store. You will need your MSA to complete the out of box experience on HoloLens and enable developer mode.

Hey @vrrory,
Your employee can certainly use his own account if the second device will only be used by him. However, if you plan to share the device with multiple employees, then I would suggest creating a generic MSA account that is not linked to a single person (more like a corporate entity). We do something similar for the Holographic Academy, where all devices in the academy use the same MSA.6

Thanks, If I want to order an extra hololens for an employee here (We got our wave 1 order link). Will I have to give him access to my microsoft account to use it with the UWP apps or will it work if we sign up a separate MSA for him? Having two devices would make life so much easier, but I also don't want people accessing my account as I've bought a lot of apps on the Windows 10 store and have private emails.
