I bought an Application from the App store that said it supported Family Sharing, my son who is a member of the Family group also downloaded it via the Purchased By: Dad option of the App Store but the software as downloaded still requires payment?
I was assuming that an Application purchased by me could be shared at no cost to other family members. If it makes a difference the App itself was bought using its In-App purchase method.

I'm not sure I understand this part. Is it asking for payment for the base app, or is it an in-app purchase that is requiring payment?
The base app should be downloadable by family members. However, if it has in-app purchases, those would have to be purchased by someone in the family. I think you would have to look at the terms of the individual app to determine if in-app purchases are covered by Family Sharing.
I think you should contact the App Store Support people as all we can do is provide general guidance on how it should work. Specific information pertaining to the license of a particular app might be beyond our capability unless we had purchased the same app under similar conditions as you.
Why do you want your family members to brick your Mac?
You'd have to ask the developer what their in-app license agreement states and how it works.
Sorry maybe this will explain.
The App in question is MacPaw's CleanMyMac X, that was downloaded by myself which I then bought via its In-App upgrade path.
The App does support Family sharing so how can members of my family share this App without needing to buy it themselves?
Thanks.
What do you mean by 'brick your Mac"?
OK, I'll contact them.

That's the only service the app you purchased provides to you. It will eventually "clean" something critical to the OS and brick your Mac.
How exactly does Family Sharing work?
