Certainly not. If the program is free, piracy is irrelevant here. If the app is paid and for example use LVL for the license check, it will not work on the emulator unless the user install Google Play on the emulator and setup his authorized Google Account (if he bought it). Otherwise the check will fail. if the app use any other scheme for license verification, it still has to pass for the program to run. If as developer you do not want your app to run in the emulator, it is not very difficult to add an emulator check on startup. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
