[android-developers] licensing - ServerManagedPolicy not caching

is licensing worth it for a paid game app? I have licensing added to my paid game, but I've found it goes online to check for a license every single time the app is run, instead of only occasionally doing it, as it's supposed to do with the 'servermanagedpolicy' as opposed to the 'strict policy

[android-developers] Licensing application after release

So I have an application already in the Market and I would like to add the license check, my question is if the users that have already payed the app (before I had the license check installed) will pass the license check if I release an update adding it. This is not clear in the documentation.

Is there a relatively easy/good way to have an app that uses LVL, also have a Demo version? It appears that I have to change the Package Name to do this - which changes the Resource file name - so nothing compiles unless I go change the import statement in all my files. Note that I am working from

There's a large chunk of apps on the market that are free, with ads. Users can pay for an "unlocker" app to remove ads in the "free" app, presumably by doing a check on whether or not the unlocker app package is installed. If LVL is verified intermittently on a paid app, is it useless for these un

You cannot set those values. They're dynamically computed by the license server based on a number of factors. For one, we use this as one level of rate limiting. It is a managed policy, but it's managed by us. ;) If you want different behavior, just subclass ServerManagedPolicy or, if that doesn't
