This is just a reflection of the level of availability of a pirated copy of 
your app.

My "pirated" numbers were similar until a ripped copy of the Pro version 
(protected using LVL) found its way onto a major pirate (and then quickly 
spread). According to my analytics about two thirds of the users using my 
pro version are not licensed.

However, that doesn't mean to say I would have three times the revenue. The 
vast majority of those non-paying users would never have paid for the app in 
the first place.

BTW, I don't use ServerManagedPolicy because I always felt it was too likely 
to affect paying users. So I implemented my own LenientPolicy which allows 
full access until the first successful server connect (and then refreshes 
according to the values returned from the LVL server).

After my app was pirated, I now use ProGuard.  I'm not sure either way 
whether LVL is worth implementing.
