Two usernames on same game?

Hi, I purchased Elder Scrolls Online and Morrowind. Is it possible to use two different account names or do i have to purchase the game separately for each account user id?
I was just going to experiment to see if I could be in the game in one computer and then login with a different account and find my first character. I realize I wouldn't be able to play both at the same time but I thought it might be cool to truly watch my character in 3rd person from a different vantage point. Just curious.
Thanks for Your help.

    Think about this more I'm guessing the answer is you cant do this without purchasing another copy of the game to avoid having multiple actual human players using the same purchased game at the same time. Oh well. It would be cool if the second player could be in view only mode or something. Just a thought.

    As you've already surmised, you would need to purchase another copy of ESO for a separate UserID.

    Actually you can run two copies of the game if you run one copy of the 32 bit client and one copy of the 64 bit client but you do indeed have to pay for a 2nd serial number to create a 2nd account name. You don't actually have to install multiple copies of the game. And you also have to run the clients from their folder and not the launcher if you want to log in two separate accounts unless you're running the separate accounts on separate PC's. Still have to pay for the serial number twice though.

    Are you talking about running the program twice at the same time on the same machine? That is not what the OP is asking. They are asking about running client on two separate computers.
