Me and a friend 1 account license?
Ok so me and a guy are really looking into developing a game together now me and him both have unity free with this license can he sign in to my account and work on the game and vice versa with the unity free license or do we need a paid license p.s. I'm 15 and he's 14 so we are not able to purchase unity until maybe later in age I'm just trying to figure out how this would work for me and him
You can easily share projects with version control system. Check out GitHub and BitBucket, both have free options.
So I don't need a special license thru unity @Bored$$anonymous$$ornon

You don't need to purchase Unity pro until you earn more than $100000 a year. Since you're 15 i don't think that should apply, does it? ^^ You and your friend can use seperate free licenses.
But with separate free license are we able to work on the project at the same time and share our models and scripts and put them all together in unity
What exactly do you mean by "at the same time"? Your project is a folder on your harddrive. You can copy the folder and send it to your friend so he can open it in his editor and you your project in yours. Once you're done editing you would have to merge the two projects.
If multiple people want to work at the same project it's best to use some kind of version control (subversion [SVN], github, Perforce, ...)
There's no real difference between a free license and a pro license in that regard.
Unity seems to recommend Perforce and Plastic SC$$anonymous$$ as version control software. You should avoid to work on the same asset at the same time. So don't edit the same script / scene / prefab at the same time as this can easily cause conflicts since both of you have a new modified version and auto-merging isn't always possible.
