Share Subscription with another account

Alright, so my boss has a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud and I do all of the work that utilizes the programs. Is there a way that she can share her subscription with my account? Basically the software would only be used on one computer, but she does not wish to share her account information with me, nor I with her. I appreciate any responses, thanks!

If there is already another post that answers this question, please direct me to it as I was unable to find an answer.

Sorry, not allowed

Cloud License allows 2 activations at a time http://www.adobe.com/legal/licenses-terms.html

-Install on a 2nd computer http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1452292?tstart=0

-Windows or Mac does not matter... 2 on the same operating system, or 1 on each

-Two activations on one account MAY NOT be in use at the same time (note in the above license link)

-An individual account is for one person and may not be shared with anyone else

Do you mean share one Cloud subscription on one computer which has two separate login accounts on the operating system?

Thanks for such a quick response. She has her own personal account that has an individual subscription. I have this account that I had before I started the job (Used it one time to get a trial for some school project). Since I'm the one using the software, she wanted it to get installed on my computer without me having access to her account information. So my thinking was to see if there was a way for her to "share" access with my account (kind of like a parent buying access for their kid kind of thing). If that makes more sense. I don't think there is a way, but I'm definitely open to suggestions.
