Does Apigee know if an API request comes from a specific app, or can someone use a key for one app in 50 places?

Hello,

Given the following statement from the documentation:

"Developers register apps to access your API products. When a developer registers an app, the developer selects the API products to associate with the app and Edge generates an API key. Each app has a single API key that provides access to all API products associated with the app."

We need to know if there's a way for Apigee to know what app actually made the call. What's stopping the client who has access to an API product from using the same calls in 50 other mobile apps and 100 other websites that they create?
