install already purchased app on child account

[Ramin Hossein Zad]

Hi

I have purchased a few apps and games
now my little brother is getting a phone and he will probably want to play those games on his own phone
do i have to buy them again?
is it possible to do install apps i've purchased in his phone using family setting and so?

looking forward to answer

Set the phone under your live id. Then you can goto windows phone site and choose that phone and you can install from there.

I know i can set it with my own live id
but he will have access to my email and so on
i want to set him as i child account and me as the parent

or maybe i din't understnd your answer

The answer is no. You can't share apps in between accounts.

that's sad to hear

 

[MrWhiteman]

If it were possible, we would all be sharing paid apps with our friends which is software piracy.

It can be done in windows 8
you can install apps you've purchased on your child's account

It's the same device though. Windows Phone does not yet allow multiple users to 'log in' on the same phone. It's like watching buying a DVD, a room full of people can watch it, but you can't play it on 2 DVD players at the same time unless you copy it.

I know what you mean
It's different in a lot of ways but in the it's the same
