Description

Hi,
I installed the latest LOS from microG on my Samsung Galaxy S5+.
I thought that with microG and Yalp Store I could run my paid apps from my previous phone and buy new apps. But neither works. I am logged in with my own Google account from which I bought the apps. I can install them but not run. They cannot find a license.
In the Yalp issues I found that this is not a feature of Yalp Store.
Before I used an S3 with LOS and OpenGApps pico. What must I do to be able to buy and run paid apps from Google play store with the microG installation?

Research direction

Review the issue's Yalp Store, microG, LineageOS 15.1 and Google Play licensing context first, including the linked Yalp discussions mentioned in the report. Done would require a documented, verified way to buy and run paid apps, or a clear statement that this setup cannot support that capability.
