Help 3 phones - do I have to pay 3 times for an app?

If you personally are using all 3 (though why I can't imagine).

One is for personal use, the other two are for different businesses. It can't be THAT unusual, surely?

If you use all three phones with the same gmail address, then the market should simply show the apps flagged as purchased on all three phones, allowing you to install them.

However, some license agreements do stipulate that even though you have purchased a license, you cannot install the software on more than one device. The onus is on you to check whether the license allows you to install the application on all three phones with one purchase.

Hope that helps. In case it matters, I'm a software developer and deal with licensing regularly.
