Licenses for managed Google Play apps

For paid apps you’ve approved in managed Google Play, you must assign an app license to a user to make the app available to the user.

You configure the license assignment on the Edit approved app page. See Edit managed Google Play app.

You don’t need to assign a license to the following apps:

  • Administrator-initiated app installations. When you install an app as described in Install managed Google Play app, a license from your pool of purchased licenses is automatically assigned to the relevant users.
  • Free apps you’ve approved in managed Google Play. Free apps are automatically available to all your users after you synchronize the app list from Google to Sophos Mobile.
