If you own multiple Android devices, you shouldn't have to buy multiple copies of your apps. Fortunately, the Android Market makes it easy to install all of your paid apps on all of your devices without having to make any extra purchases.

Before getting started, please note that these instructions are for devices running the new Android Market (version 3.0+). While it is possible to install paid apps on multiple devices through the old Android Market, doing so entails one caveat: the Google account used for the purchases must be the primary account associated with the device. In any case, we've included notes that should make the process clear.

Step 1: Make sure the Google account used to purchase your apps is added to your new device. If it isn't, go to your Android Settings, tap Accounts and sync, then Add account.

Note: If you are still running the old version of the Android Market (version 2.3), then the desired Google account must be the first account added to your device. This is because the old Market can only access the device's primary account and has no means of switching.

Step 2: Go to the Android Market. Tap Menu, then Accounts. Select the appropriate Google account.

Note: Again, only the new version of the Android Market (3.0+) has this ability.
