Sharing a Netflix account?

My son and daughter are going off to college soon and I was wondering if they can still use my family's netflix account. Is there a limit on how many devices a single Netflix account can be used on? If there is, can I simply log off on one device and use it on another? I would like to use it on 2 laptops, 2 desktops, an iPad, and 2 mobile phones. Is this a problem?

Thanks in advance?

    Yes they can. But you can only have 2 people watching a movie or show on netflix at a time on any device. Unless you wanna pay extra every month. It doesnt matter how many devices are on 1 account though aslong as only 2 people are on netflix at a time.

    Yeah, you should just go ahead and ask for their banking account number. I'd rather give someone 5 bucks than to give that kind of info over the net. Also, you can't have the same account active in two different places... So whomever gives you their info, now they won't be able to watch, if you're watching. Give me your PayPal account ID & password, and I'll give you 5 bucks... ... ... ... J/K.

    Not that I know of, our whole family uses one netflix account, it's like a facebook account. As long as you have the email and password you should be fine.

    No there aren't a "limit" for sharing. As long as the master account is active, usage can be spread arbitrarily anyway.
