Hi Dadical, licmax offers a comprehensive dynamic licensing solution to this. Piracy won't be possible unless they can foil the IMEI of the device somehow, or somehow inject a jump in the bytecode of your app. In the first scenario, you are able to decommission individual licenses using the

@licmax In your website : Every time the app store sells a copy of your application, it queries the licmax system for a license key. please explain this, how is the Google android market going to tell licmax about the sales in progress ? to my extend there is no API to get such of information

Hi, People cheat, it's in our human nature, it's even an economic rule : Individuals try to get the most with their limited resources. So if they can have something for free, they will. The problem is not really to fight this, because we'll never win (RIAA anyone : ), it's to find a way to

Nothing if fool proof for sure, but security and piracy is like a cat and mouse game. The hacker and developer actually form a symbiotic relationship, both making each other stronger. Just another thought: What about setting the time bomb based on the Yahoo server api call?
