If you buy one key for your account, and want to share the account with more people or invite someone to check/edit the files, then:

When User A is editing a file with the key, User B (or Invitee B) can log in this account meanwhile but only read the file;

If User B (or Invitee B) want to get the key to edit the file, he needs to ask User A to release the key so that User B can click Get Key. The Read Only status changes into Editable status.

Release Key is relative to Get Key. Because the number of key is limited, other people get the key to edit the file after releasing the key by the user who is using the key.
