20 school iPads using the same account

[Renfield-64]

We have just purchased 20 iPads for teachers to use. Our business manger says we can have one Apple account which all the iPads can use so that if an app is purchased by one person everyone can download it.

I am dubious as to whether this is true and don't want to fall foul of licensing laws.

 

Anyone have experience of this?

Quote from Apple's website (iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS) regarding T&C's for app licensing:

If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared 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.

 

You need a separate purchased copy of each app per device.
