Unless I am missing something critical about the Google Maps ToS, leaving it without a Client ID (bypassing the necessary Google Maps Premier subscription) when we go to sell and distribute this application it would be a flagrant violation of the ToS.
To be clear, the HTML pages in question (which utilize the Google Maps JavaScript API) are generated by a desktop application we are in the process of building (and eventually sell). Since the maps that will be generated by our users are not publicly for freely accessible, a Maps Premier licence will be required for our customer's to use.
