How to install previous purchases with new phone and account?

[Android Central Question]

I have bought a Pixel 2 XL and created a brand new Google account that I want to use as my main account in the future. I have also added my previous main account and added it to my phone, but when I select my secondary account in the Play Store, I can see apps I did install before but all purchased apps are not purchased anymore, How can I fix this?

Welcome to Android Central! I don't believe that's possible -- it has to be the same account. See this thread: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/play/jPyKkxuIXrI

Are you saying that with both your new and old accounts in the Play Store app, you still can't install your previously purchased apps through your old account?

If you switch to your former account all of your apps should be listed in your library for that account
