APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES (i) If you are an individual acting in your personal capacity, you may download and

sync an App Store Product for personal, noncommercial use on any iOS Device you own or control.

For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license.
