Licensing and Installing apps on multiple company computers
I keep running into this situation, but have yet to hear any good solution. Apps/programs available in the online store seem to be designed around a user-owner paradigm that isn't very helpful in a company situation.
Our company has multiple Macs, and we are called upon to install software that's available online-only (such as Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor) for more than one user/computer at a time. We do not want these licenses tied to personal Apple ID's, however, and would prefer to keep them under a company-held ID. If we purchase an app normally, however, we can only buy it once, then it shows as purchased. Even when we've gone through hoops to secure multiple licenses, we've only been able to activate one per Apple ID.
We would like to be in compliance with license agreements and have one copy/license per user/computer, but how are we supposed to do that when using one central Apple ID to manage these installations?
