Just did a little search on google with my paid app name, I found these: http://www.ipmart-forum.com/archive/index.php/t-337082.html http://droidappz.co.cc/index.php/board,21.0.html Someone bought the priced app from market with the "rooted" phone and copy the apk file, then post on the websites for others to download. Should Android team give a better way to protect the priced apps? For example, encrypt the apk with the unique device hardware id for each download request. And verify the key before execution. So the apk can only be used on this phone. There should be much better and complicated ways. but this is the basic idea. I have checked the BlackBerry app world, looks like they have something different: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/appworld/faq.jsp >My application requires a license key, how can I get a license key to >the end user? >BlackBerry App World asks you to indicate that an application requires >a license key. The license key models supported include Static, >Single, Pool or Dynamic. Maybe the single key mode is the thing I am talking about? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
