Volume Purchasing Apps
You can purchase apps for your iPod touch, but understand that you must purchase the app multiple times if you install it
on multiple iPod’s.
For example, if you put the same app on 3 different iPod’s, you must purchase it 3 times.
You can put free apps on as many iPod’s as you would like.
There is a Volume Purchase License available through Apple. If you are interested, have your school administration look
into this for you.
