This ask is related to the release of the "non-admin can install an app on a domain" feature announced here: http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/09/google-apps-marketplace-to.html
I'm seeing that when a non-admin installs our app onto their domain (through the use of a whitelist), the CustomerLicense returned from the "https://www.googleapis.com/appsmarket/v2/customerLicense/" endpoint is still UNLICENSED. When an admin installs the app, the CustomerLicense is set correctly to ACTIVE.
Seems like a bug. If not, can someone from the GAM team help clarify what I should expect here? Thanks!
non-admin installs the app only for himself/herself. Since CustomerLicense api is for querying domain level licensing info, the api correctly returns UNLICENSED.
Try using UserLicense api instead https://developers.google.com/apps-marketplace/v2/reference/userLicense.
