[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
you are talking about several separate things here.

it was stated, that apps that are already installed on the device, but under a different user account, will be available instantly, and do not require to be downloaded again.

that is true, in the android developers office hours emea edition yesterday and last week, this was confirmed. however, it was not clearly stated, what the space requirements are in such a case. obviously, the apk itself must be stored on the device at least once. since all user settings are individual, the shared preferences files will be present twice and all apps that require external data, such as game data on the sd card, must be updated, to not store this data twice. the last point goes especially for apps with expansion apks on the play store, whether apps with data downloads from 3rd party servers (like rockstar games etc.) will work with this model, time will tell.

the way this entire system works, is through encryption and file system permissions.

even the same folder on the sd card, say /sdcard/Music/ can look differently to different users.

Also, up to now, this has not been tested with devices with external sd cards (for obvious reasons) and only works on ext4 file systems.

The licensing question is entirely different from that. the play store, while being able to check a lot of things about you and your device, primarily looks at your google account when you are looking for an app, and the app licenses you buy always are registered to your account (i.e. you as a person), as opposed to your device, which is great, if you are one person with several devices. mixing this system with per device licenses would create a massive issue, as people could just willy nilly create legit play store licenses for apps by adding friends' user accounts on their device with paid apps and the apps would be licensed for the friends as well (again, including all their devices).

of course the same goes for any other play store purchases as well (movies, music, books, in-app purchases etc.)

this has not officially been stated by the android developers office hours, but it only makes sense this way, again, as mixing per-user licensing with per-device licensing would open a hell-hole of piracy.

so, considering, what google officially stated about these things, i would not count on the feature being anywhere similar to the existing multi-user feature of 4.1. if it had been ready and perfected at the time, it would have been published in that state, but after another half a year of work, i expect it to have changed, much like the rest of the os.

if you want all of this information directly from google and in even lengthier explanations, check out the office hours:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanetJumble:
I am willing to bet that the shared APK system is based on the Play Store and might even only work when installed from there. In that case, in order to have an app available on another profile, you would need to "download" it from the store, only that it just registers it as visible somehow. That would require the corresponding google account on every profile using the app.

When it comes to additional files, I guess the "official way" introduced a while back with the two additional archives will be handled just fine, as it is done by the system itself. When the app downloads those themself, we will have to wait and see like you said. The same goes for other files - will I be aple to see e.g. the photos from other profiles? If not by default, can you manage the access rights? Devices with SD cards might prove quite interesting here, but they may as well be handled the simple way: if you use that storage, it is open for all.

However that turns out to work, multi-user will broaden the versatility of tablets, even if some scenarios don't work out as they might be wished or expected.

What I didn't get from your post - are you accusing me of abusing the multi-device functionality? If so, I don't feel ashamed of sharing paid apps with my wife (for now) and children (later on when they get smartphones). We also do not buy separate DVDs for each viewer or multiple instances of books.

Sharing a google account with paid apps with a multitude of friends as you described however could prove quite problematic. Who gets to register his credit card? Who decides which apps are bought? I guess it would be much easier to find a cracked version if unwilling to pay.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
no no, i was not accusing you.

i was just presenting the official google standpoint of licensing and that with a per-device licensing in combination with a device with multiple users, it would be possible to create free licenses illegally.

let me elaborate on that, because i meant it entirely different from your last paragraph:

let's say, i have a nexus 10 and have bought a paid app with my account. if that meant, every user on my tablet would inherit an own license from this one purchase, i could theoretically have friends coming over all day, logging into my tablet with their account, and immediately have the right to this paid app (and all my paid apps) as well, so it would be licensed to their account and they could install it on their phones as well. that way, you could create an infinite account of pseudo-legit licenses for apps or generally all play store content. this is the reason, why i think it is impossible that google would use the per-device licensing all of a sudden.

actually, i forgot to mention, your model with a combined family account is actually a good way around such issues.

i am sure, many couples or entire families use this method and it is perfectly fine. at least, the app purchase is legit. sharing one account with two people, especially in this case on one device is something completely different from the fraudulent model i was talking about before.

my entire earlier post was about the question in the op, whether one paid app can be used from multiple accounts and again, technically, legally and morally, no.

i agree with your dvd example, translating that to apps, one account on multiple devices allows multiple app installations and whether both devices are operated by the same person or a couple does not matter.

long story short:

the only difference in the play store experience is that apps that are already installed don't have to be downloaded again (to save time), but the play store will still feel exactly the same, i.e. requiring a purchase for an app, that has not been bought with that account yet.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanetJumble:
I was just asking to prevent misunderstanding.

Even if you could just use any app installed by any profile (which as I described above is not the way I assume it will happen), at what point does that enable them to download the app to their devices? That would require them to have your profile (with your account details) on their devices.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
no it wouldn't require them to have your profile in this hypothetical story, here is the thing, as i understood the first couple of posts in this thread, this would be a possible scenario (but isn't):

User A has a phone, let's say a Gnex and a google account usera@gmail.

User B has a phone, let's say an S3 and a google account userb@gmail.

User A buys a Nexus 10.

User A logs in and has access to all the same paid apps as on the Gnex.

User B logs in and has access to all the same paid apps as on the S3.

User A installs a free app on the Nexus 10.

User B installs the same free app on the Nexus 10. it does not require another download, it is just there.

(so far, so good, all true, could happen)

User A buys an app from the play store on the Nexus 10.

User B looks at the same app on the play store on the Nexus 10.

(here comes the initial question: will he get this app for free, since it is already installed on the device?)

Situation 1:

User B gets the app for free on the Nexus10, since it is already present on the device, it does not even need to be installed again, it is just there.

User B looks in the play store, the app should now be listed in "My Apps", since it was installed on the device with the account userb@gmail.

User B gets his S3 and has the same app displayed as purchased on the play store, since he once was able to legitimately install it from his account (on the Nexus 10), which makes it his app on all his devices.

User B installs the paid app on his S3 for free, since it is present on his account.

User B's account gets removed from the Nexus 10.

Rinse and repeat through User Z. 25 free licenses, that can be replicated to all of the users' devices since they get the app transferred to their accounts if they once inherited it on the Nexus 10.

Situation 2:

User A looks at the app on the play store, it costs .99$. He buys it and installs it.

User B looks at the app on the play store, sees it costs him .99$

User B buys the app.

The app gets installed instantly, as it is already present on the device.

All I wanted to say with my two previous 2 posts is:

Situation 1 is never going to happen. Situation 2 is how it's going to be. If User A and User B are 2 separate Google Accounts on the same tablet, they need to buy apps twice.

People tend to confuse the instant install feature with an ability to share apps or transfer apps between accounts, but all it does is save you time and internet traffic. it does not influence paid apps at all. also, apparently, the half implemented multi-user feature in 4.1 gave wrong impressions as well.

P.S. i actually think, we were on the same page all along, just had different approaches to give examples of the situations.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanetJumble:
I think so too, and I fully expect to skip the second payment with each profile having the personal and the shared family account. :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
Exactly. For 2 persons you make 3 accounts. One shared account for paid apps that both use, so you'd just need to purchase them once and 2 individual accounts for the two persons to have their personal email and other individual settings and files.

That seems to be the ideal solution. A week from now, we'll know exactly, how the separation works.

Can't wait to have the device here.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] je55ter:
I don't see why it has to be only one of those two options. Why not this:

Situation 3:

User A buys and installs a $0.99 app on the play store.

User B Looks at the same app and Play store is smart enough to check that the app is already installed on the device and allows him access to it on this device but does NOT update his account information to say that he has purchased the app.

User B Looks at the same app on his phone, and it still shows up as costing $0.99.

Not saying that's definitely the way it will work, but that's the way I'd prefer it. That would allow a parent to buy and install apps for his children that they have access to on their profiles, without having to associate his own account and credit card information with his children's profiles, opening up the possibility for them to make purchases without his approval.

Another question I have about multi-profile access to apps is this: I keep hearing that the second user to install an app will not have to download it again. That's certainly nice for ease/speed of access to the new app, but it doesn't answer the question of how the app is stored on the device. Is there just one copy of the apk that all users can access? Or does the system make a copy of the apk for each profile that installs it, thus using up more storage space?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneXDA:
Profiles are just profiles under one GMail account I'd imagine, and not a completely separate and independent accounts.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
Nah, that doesn't make sense, you don't want to be sharing an email account or whatever, it will be a separate (optional) account per profile.

As for the app purchase crappy, who cares, get titanium backup, use its profile switch option which works on all android versions to swap out apply and game data so multiple people can use them on the same device.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanetJumble:
You don't seriously say using titanium is easier than native integration?

@je55ter only a few more days and we will know for sure. :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
that is definetely not the case as one can see in all available hands on videos so far, the profiles are different google accounts, which will then automatically give you access to all your google content. have a look at the videos, like the first video from the verge, the demo device clearly has hugo barra's account on it, as indicated by his google+ avatar on the lockscreen. it was also confirmed that these profiles will fetch all kinds of information from the corresponding google account, so it must be multiple accounts.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
I'm not saying it's easier, but if it turns out each user is supposed to purchase it, TB profiles is one solution.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brac20:
A very similar example would be the Xbox 360 or PS3. These are devices that use multiple users accounts. On both consoles paid content is available to all profiles on the console.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanetJumble:
Yes, X360 and PS3 are excellent examples... of how it will not work on Android! :P

Actually it really makes sense that different profiles got different apps, unlike on consoles. If you can cross-license over profiles on the same device some way will be revealed next week.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brac20:
What evidence do you have for how it will be implemented? You can make a pretty strong argument for both systems.

If there is no cross-licensing it would seriously reduce the appeal of this feature. Would most people purchase 2 copies of GTA3 for instance just so they can have their own saved game on their profile? I don't think so.

I have problems with my Motorola Atrix. I replaced the touch screen because it did not work. Before that, I made a unlock and PDS FIX because I thought it would be a software problem. Now I have the following problem as seen in the video. At the point where the touchscreen does not work, it works in the vertical view. Also on the home screen the touscreen works well in one area. Only if you go to the main menu, the touchscreen didn’t work at the same point where it works fine one the homescreen. Have anyone a resolution? Thanks !!

I can transfer small file, but say for instance like custom roms, i am not able to.

I read over some threads but would like to just be able to transfer without any other apps and just do it through a plug and play.
