[AppStore] Can apps purchased from app store be used in more than 1 device?

[romenator]

I was just wondering, if i buy an application from the app store, will i be able to transfer it to my touch, or when i get to buy an iphone 3g to that? or is the application for one device only?

Yes, you can use it on up to 5 devices. Just authorize it for each device you want to use.

Im having a problem with autorization. It says the app was authorized successfully, but then when i try to move it to my phone it says its not authorized in my computer. Ive tried more then 20times to authorize it, but doesnt work.
Anyone knows why?
Thanks,

...are you logged into iTunes with the account that purchased the application?

[ronin74]

did you activate the computer in iTunes?

[mojacko]

you can sync it to another iphone.

i use 2 accounts.

all sync well.

SOL.1. dont forget to authorize the computer you are using and offcourse logging in to your account..

SOL.2. use first your iphone to download apps so that iphone will be login to the account. then try the itunes to sync again.

Yes I am. But it just keep asking me to authorize. And when i do, it says it was successful, but when i Sync it says it was not authorized.

Abras, what provider are you on? Using Claro I'm being able to activate free apps from the US store and paid apps from Brazilian store.

Can you elaborate on that. I'm unsure.
Scenario: I have 2 iphones with 2 different numbers.
So if I buy an app on phone #1, I can use it on phone #2 as well ?

thanks

Ok here is what I did. I bought applications from AppStore, browsed to ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications/ and attached these files to an email and sent them to my sister. When she double-clicked them (on her PC) iTunes opened and I have authorized her computer for the first time. She plugged her iPhone to her computer and she was able to play games. I send new applications to her and she just opens & syncs to her iPhone. iTunes is not asking for password anymore.

yes it works,

my girlfriend has her own account and i use her user / password on my itunes, but i hv my own iphone set up on my itunes.. so when i connect my iphone shows everything mine... but we share the applications function, when she buys something i can download for free...

is that clear?


just to give an example, she bought crash bandicoot, so she has installed on her iphone from her itunes on her computer... and she told me to download it, so i clicked to download and showed to me "you've purched this item, do you want to download again for free?" so i press yes and i can have the same app officially!! everything we buy we can share... but i can sincronize on my itunes without problem.. i wont loose it!

There is another way i tested with my brother... i sincronized on my itunes, and i put all my applications and i went to his house and sincronize with his itunes with his account, BUT i just click to sincronize musics / contacts... so it kept all applications on his iphone!! BUT IF CLICKS TO SYNC ALL / EVERYTHING he will loose all applications i've installed!
