Manage app licenses

Managed Google Play no longer supports the ability to purchase app licenses. Your organization can still manage and request refunds for the app licenses it already owns. However, it won't be possible to purchase any additional licenses.

Approving licensed apps

Purchased apps are automatically approved and made available to users in your organization.

If you don't want new users to install an approved app, remove it from the approved list. People who haven't installed it can no longer see it in managed Google Play. However, users who already installed it can keep using it.

After you re-approve the app, unused licenses are immediately available to users.
