How many devices can an IOS in-app purchase be restored?

If I have an apple ID. can I use the same for twenty iPads? We have allowed in-app purchases in our application and we are afraid it may be abused by people sharing the same apple ID.

Do we as developers need to track the devices it is installed on?

In-App-Purchases are bound to an user account, not a device.
You can't buy non-consumable products more than one time anyway.

From the In-App Purchase Programming Guide:

Non-consumable products are purchased only once by a particular user. Once a non-consumable product is purchased, it is provided to all devices associated with that user’s iTunes account. Store Kit provides built-in support to restore non-consumable products on multiple devices.


Forget about the tiny percentage of people who share their account between 20 devices and use the time to improve your app for everybody else.
