If you're sharing a square enix account with multiple people in your household, each of you will need a copy of FF XIV/registration code if you want to be logged in at the same time.

If you're the only person playing on your square enix account, then you only need 1 copy of FF XIV + registration code, which you already have having played 1.0.

How many characters you can create depends on your subscription level.
Do you know how much a registration code cost?
