This means that if you bought the game, and someone from your surroundings will want to play it, he will have to buy the game separately. Fortunately there are three simple solutions Bypass this restriction and shares purchased applications for free.
Add your account to another device
As you must have guessed, purchased applications are tied to the account with which payment was made. Therefore, what would someone from your family, friends or loved ones installed on your device a purchased application, is enough to add a personal account to another device. This is done as follows:
2. Go to "Accounts", add Google account and enter your data. The process itself takes 1-3 minutes and depends on the velocity of the Internet, to exclude in the future the confusion of data, disable the synchronization in just added.
3. Run the Play Market, in the drop-down window, you only pick up the added account. Further, the item "My Applications", celebrate and load what you think necessary.

Disadvantages:
- It is required to regularly add your own account on each device.
- To re-verify the license.
- Confusion with data, if you do not disable synchronization.
Creating a common account
What would get rid of the three drawbacks of the previous point, rationally make a separate account specifically for the purchase of paid games and programs. Each participant will receive access to applications, while simultaneously can use a personal account for personal affairs. In addition, if this is a family account, the relatives will have access to joint cloud storage And the calendar of future family events.
It makes sense to start a separate account, even for several friends, acquaintances or colleagues. After all, that a group of people could fully play or use expensive applications to be raised with equal parts and pay no full cost, but only a third or quarter. The price is affected by the number of people than more people, the lower the cost of buying for everyone separately.

If the family consists more than six people, someone will remain deprived, in addition, developers must activate the function, and therefore it will act for a limited number of applications. And the last, the launch, though scheduled for July 2, most likely it will happen in the US market, and already later on all others.
