Basically what the title says. I don’t particularly want to buy another copy just because I use a different AppleID on the two devices.

EDIT: I don’t use iCloud at all. Not sure it matters, but I thought I’d share that in case it does matter.

DEVONthink To Go can’t sync woth a local sync store.
@EmmaKay : A Bonjour sync on your local network is definitely a good choice in many instances. See this the Help > Documentation > In & Out > Sync > Bonjour and this post for more info:
To help clarify the conditions under which Bonjour can be used, as well as show the simple steps to setting up such a sync, here are notes and steps to follow.
Requirements
Bonjour can be used to Sync between devices, IF:
The devices are on the same network, noting it will not work over VPN.
