I don't think *you* will need a premier licence, provided that your app can be reached online for nothing. That is, the principal question is "Can anyone anywhere in the world see my map for free?" Selling your app is not selling the map: it's selling your expertise in creating *your* code and integrating Google's. Your clients may need a premier licence though, and certainly will if they implement the app on an intranet. Each of your clients should get their own key for their domain, with their own Google account -- don't let them use yours, because if Google takes a dislike to one of the implementations and bans the key or account, you don't want every installation to stop working. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
