Google Play Private Channel - one Google account for many devices

I am setting up a Google Play Private Channel for a company I'm working for. The instructions say that you need a Google Apps for Business account to download the app from the private channel. We have many sales reps who need to continuously upgrade when there is a new release pushed to the private channel.

Can we share one Google Apps for Business account for many users?

I'd like to have one account, [email protected], that they all share. The reason for this being that I don't want to propose a solution that would cost the company $5/month/user, which is the cost of a Google Apps for Business account!

If you only need to restrict downloads to a particular set of users, you don't actually need a Google Play Private Channel: you can use the beta testing feature of Google Play to publish the app only to a 'beta' channel and only allow your sales reps access to the Google Group you set up with access to the beta channel.

As long as you never publishing a production version, the app remains visible only to those 'beta testers' i.e., your sales reps and not to the wider Google Play audience.
