Because of the various issues there are with the latest Cubase version I logged in as Admin to do some tests with Cubase. When starting the application I had to get a new license? That’s not what I expected. I have some other “spare” account on the same PC. This way my three licenses will be used on the same system. Bummer.
Well, you can probably blame all those people shouting “we don’t want no dongle” and “we don’t want no online check”
So it seems that the new licensing system writes or reads data from user specific areas of the operating system. Under normal circumstances I don’t see a problem there, but in a situation where you have one computer used by different people with different accounts this might be annoying.
But out or curiosity: why do you need to log in with different accounts to start Cubase? I can’t imagine a reason to do so, tbh, but that might be me.
I’m sure Matthias, or Daniel posted on here a while back how to copy the files needed to other user accounts on the same machine. But I can’t find it, perhaps that information was removed for security reasons?
However, there is (or at least was) a method to do what you’re wanting. Just can’t find it - sorry!

Cubase 12 freezes on ending the program except when started as Admin. I would like to see if login as Admin could solve anything.
