[android-developers] Application Licensing to implement promo codes
Hello, I've got a question and I need a quick answer. Is it possible to do some sort of promo code feature with Application Licensing service?

I thought so too, but as far as I know you can't set the code for the promotion yourself. And you can't set the price to $0. Or can you do that with in-app billing. Did I miss something?

With in-app billing, you just need to flip a switch in the app in order to enable extra features/levels, etc. Whether you trigger this when you receive payment confirmation or your own promo code, the result is the same. There is no need to change the price, etc. Note that there is no official way to do promo codes, so you can implement whatever you want. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Application Licensing to implement promo codes
For this behavior I wouldn't need in-app billing. I just present the user a dialog to enter the code and if it's correct I make the app a premium version. Therefore the user would need to remember the promo code if he wants to install the app on another device or deinstall/reinstall it. I need something that remembers that this user unlocked the premium version and will do so for future installs. And I don't want to implement my own web service that stores user accounts that unlocked the premium version.

You obviously can't do this with a paid app. And of course you want to make sure that if they leak a code on Twitter or something it doesn't allow the whole Internet to get your premium version for free.

Good luck with that :) -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I thought that this could be achieved via Application Licensing. I read it on stackoverflow, but I don't know how.
