I think the bottom line on app copy protection is: The end result isn't worth the effort. Better to accept some piracy than prevent valid users from using the app.
As Tim mentioned, the "Freemium" model is probably the most secure. Everyone has implemented their upgrade system independently so it would be tricky for a hacker to figure out exactly what it takes for a free app to perform in premium mode. That makes freemium more secure than anything overt. Another consideration is virtually all of the top apps and games use in-app purchases for revenue generation. There's a reason for that. You might want to look at using that for yourself as well. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
