Purchase Poweramp FOR someone else, and THEY reg. and own the license

[DaveDamnit]

Mornin' Forums,

I've ordered an SD card as a Christmas gift for a family member and I got to thinking (yeah, normally dangerous) They might really like Poweramp.  So I thought, heck, I'll buy it for'em, it ain't much.

BUT, Google play seems to be quite nearsighted, because I already have it, they don't show a price, nor how to purchase it any other way.

How could I pay for a Poweramp license, but give it entirely (the license) to the recipient?  As a gift.

Thanks folks,

Dave

The only way to purchase a Play Store licence is to use that person's own Play Store account. So you'd need to log in as them (e.g. on a computer using the account and password that they use on their phone) and buy it, which will probably two-factor notify them that the purchase has taken place, and install the unlocker on their phone.

You could buy a website licence, but again you'd need to use their email address and they would get a notification email with their UserID to validate the licence.

So yes it's quite doable, but probably not as a surprise unless you do it on Xmas Day morning.

Thanks Andre, I'll see if they have Google "gift cards" at the store and get them that and say its expressly for PA.  Once the get accustom to it, they'll thank me for the recommendation : )
