Newbie question on Play Store and saving apps

[morph000]

Heh well... 3 weeks after buying my Note 2 and I know it pretty much back to front and inside out and have rooted it, backed up, and installed 2 dozen free apps from non-Play Store sources, so all coming along well !!
What I'd like to know though is (and note I've never used Google Play Store):

1. If one buys an app from Google Play Store, the store installs it to your phone, BUT...I really don't like that concept ! ("Tough luck, man up !" - I can hear everyone say now. LOL)
For any M$ Windows software purchase you can always get the installer AND the license key, which is essential for any future reinstalls.
ALL my existing apps are on my pc and it's a simple matter to wifi them across to the Note 2 if need be.
So, the question is - how can I save the installer APK and the license ? APK Extractor perhaps ? Anyone used it ?

2. Does buying an app from the store automatically install the registered or PRO version, as the case may be, of an app so no license key is required or what ?

Bottom line - I want to buy some PRO version apps but I want the installer and licenses saved on my pc NOT just on the Note 2.
Yes, I can always supposedly login to Play Store and get them again if need be but I don't like that concept much either.

Input please !

The means and methods in which Google Play Store, Amazon and Get Jar which we support of buying and installing applications is done for a reason. It insures the developer gets their recognition and fee for their time and efforts along with providing a safe and controlled environment to obtain the applications.

We do not approve of any discussion regarding extracting licensing keys or code for paid applications.

Thanks but I wasn't suggesting anything unethical whatsoever as I thought my wording suggested...
