expanding this a little, the general conundrum is with any tablet that supports multiple accounts ( a feature of lollipop ?)- and thus supports multiple google account links
is an app licensed to the account, or to the device & have google fully thought it through themselves. Their basic approach seem to be account linked - if I change device I can install any apps previously bought without paying again, and I can have the same paid or app on multiple devices if they all share my google credentials.
But for the family sharing a tablet setup, we want device level sharing. Microsoft seems to have done it with win 8 OK. I can't speak for apple. but with win 8.1, I can log into their store with a microsoft account , install an app, log into local account b in win 8 and still access the app ( well it worked for netflix so I assume it works for paid apps also )
In true multi user, one would expect an app to store multiple config sets, one per user- can it do that but still only store one licence state ?
