Hello Mike,
I wanted to install my bought Android MSP on another family tablet for providing a testing bed to some interested co-player, but the PlayStore requested another 14 EUR from me. Is this normal?
Kind regards,
Petra

If you either use family sharing or the same Google account is active on both devices, then you should be able to install the app without having to pay again. Note that the email address that is used must stay active on the device otherwise you will fail future license checks and updates will not be delivered to you through the Play Store.

Alright, send me an email at mike@zubersoft.com and let's work on installing the version I distribute myself instead of relying on Google Play.
Thanks,
Mike

Benno,
I responded to your email, but your purchase through Google Play lets you install on every device you own. You don't need a second purchase. If you are unable to install for some reason, I'll need to know which account you purchased under (email it back to me).

This happened to me when I did a factory reset on one tablet and purchased another tablet.
For the first one, it directed me to pay again and I just did it (not a huge deal, I figured).
When it happened again for the other tablet and I confirmed with Mike that should not have happened, I recall getting to the MS program on Play another way within Google Play and then it did not charge me.
So, it seems to be some glitch with Google Play?
I would recommend finding Mobilesheet various ways on Play (as an an already purchased app) and then back out and find the program again (I am sorry I forgot what I did exactly).
After doing this, it allowed me to download and install without charging me.
I hope this helps (and makes a little sense!).
