So every time I use the web to browse the App store I have the option to download apps to all of my registered devices. While I wiped my Prime before returning it to Best Buy, it still shows up on my google play account. Does anyone know how Google keeps track of the devices? Serial? Is it possible that my refurbished Prime could be sitting somewhere receiving Apps I send to it? If yes, do you know of any cool things I could send to its new owner?
only if they log in with your gmail acct.

So did anyone else notice that the new Market has an account setting? Allows me to select different accounts. Does this finally mean that I can merge two accounts worth of apps? Family style?

Im not sure if you can merge 2 accounts, They have to have a way of preventing people from signing into a family members account and downloading apps that were bought thru said account. If not then it poses a serious problem for app developers and devs getting paid correctly. Unfortunately I dont have another account to test it on..

"Your application purchases are tied to your Google Account and can be installed an unlimited amount of times on any device." See:

It works for watching movies rented on another account, too:

Keep in mind you do still have to add the additional Google account(s) to the phone, meaning the device will have access to all other Google services including Gmail.
so lets say I added my gmail account to my wifes phone and downloaded all the apps I have paid for to her phone..couldnt I just delete my gmail from her phone after and her phone would still have all my apps on it?
The documentation doesn't say, but most likely yes, and it'd be real easy to test it. Just add your account, download an app, remove the account, and see what happens.
Keep in mind, though, that without the associated Google account you won't be able to update those apps -- which is an enormous downside in the long run.

I plan on just having a family account to buy apps on, and then add that to all the phones. But it use to be that it had to be the main account.. I haven't purchased any apps yet, recent iphone switcher, but now it appears to not have to be the main account... which is awesome cause google talk only worked with the main.
I been buying apps, games, and songs from the Play store for years, and now everything I do gets errored out. I can download free apps, but nothing paid. Can't use play credit, my CC, or charge to my phone account. Just started the other day. Well, I got an email from google saying they had issues with verifying my account and I need to provide a copy of a utility bill or goverment ID. Are they serious?? Anyone ever seen this? I seen this before, but it was an issue on google's side, and it fixed itself out. I responded to their email, but haven't heard anything. I did a search, and seems like some people have been waiting months for something to resolve their issues, but nothing yet.
Can anyone provide any insight?
Hello,
I recently borrowed tablet that I needed to create app for some company, that was the chief's son tablet. I did the job, gived it back and was sure that i logged out from my google account. But right now on my google account in "my apps" I see thousand of free apps and I am scared that this kid will start buying paid games on my credit card. I contacted chief via e-mail, but till now there is no answer. Cannot contact him personally because right now I am not in the city.
So is there any way to exclude one of devices from my google account via web browser on my computer?
Can't you just change your Google password instead?
Well, I didn't thought about this, actually I can do it if there is no other way. I do not know how complicated it will be, because I have this two-step verification login etc.
I don't believe there is any other way of simply deleting a device from your Google account.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... My wife decided to purchase me a brand shiney new Droid 2 as a surprise. The rep @ Verizon typed my email incorrectly, creating a new Google Account for me. Instead of "draexo" the rep typed "draxeo". I did not notice for some time and was purchasing apps under the miss-spelled user name. Forward many years and I still have two Google Accounts. Every ROM I flash, I put in both accounts so that my paid apps would not have to be purchased again. Most of the paid apps under the miss-spelled name are no longer around, however a few key apps are (ROM Manager, SET CPU, TiBu). I would like to finally retire this miss-spelled Google Account. I figured out that to re-purchase the apps would be under 20$ so I am all set to do that. Is there a way, however, to sort out which of my APPS were purchased under which account and which FREE apps were downloaded under which account. I was thinking TiBu would sort by account, but it does not appear to have a filter for Google Account. Any ideas or suggestions I can try?
Thanks
After update to Lolipop my market shows only Free apps and says not available in your country VPN doesn't help
Did you use multiple Google accounts earlier? At least I have old apps purchased using my old Google account so I need to add that account to Nexus and use that in store to install paid apps.
No I have been using this account all the time, the thing is I have mad lot's of purchases with this account but I don't know what can be wrong, My Country was not even listed in Google Play supported country list but I still was able to buy apps, I can see paid apps from browser but until the moment I log in, I even checked my old gMail account I signed in and was able to see PAID apps but once I refreshed the page only free were left (( That's why I hate google ....

Are you sure you are looking in the correct spot? You can see any previous installed apps if you go into My Apps, then into All. You can even install all of them at once if you push longer on one app, then on all the apps you want to install. I don't have that Tab anymore, it's something related to the last version of Play Store.
Well I can install apps I've purchased before they are visible in MyApps TAB but not in General to Buy them Looks like Country restriction is working again somehow
