    Is there any limitation of installation of apps purchased from Mac App Store?

    By my reading* of the App Store Terms and Conditions, unless you're a business or educational institution, you can install App Store applications on any Macs you own ("You may download and use an application from the Mac App Store (“Mac App Store Product”) for personal, non-commercial use on any Apple-branded products running Mac OS X (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control."). I don't believe the five-computer restriction that applies to iTunes downloads exists for the Mac App Store.

    No, except for your free hard drive space.

    I'm interested in using some Mac App Store software (software that's not available to be licensed separately, such as, for example, Final Cut Pro X) in the computer labs I administer. What are my options for managing licenses?

    Mac App Store software can be installed on up to five machines. One way you could set everything up is to split your computers into groups of five and make an Apple account for each group, then buy Final Cut (or whatever software you want) on each account, set up each group of computers with its account and install Final Cut on all of them.
