Google Managed Enterprise - Paid Apps

ÖC

Hello, we currently use a managed enterprise account for installing apps from the Google Play Store on Android devices. Some customers have a need for paid apps, but we're unable to release them via the Soti app policy. Do you have any experience with paid apps and what would be the best way to handle it? Thank you

Managed Play apps not longer support any sort of volume purchasing plan for paid licensing through the Play Store. Google's recommendation is to work with the developer directly to see if they offer an alternate mechanism for enterprise licensing. This is not a SOTI specific issue, but something affecting any Android Enterprise deployment:
