amazon app store and android licensing LVL

So, I have a few little android apps now, and am thinking ab开发者_如何学编程out releasing the in the Amazon App Store. However I have one fundamental question I don't see answered anywhere.

How is Licensing handled if you release the app on the amazon store? I am currently using the Google LVL licensing in my paid apps to ensure the user is licensed to run them. I assume that an app sold on Amazon, isn't going to have any connection to tell Google, hey, this app was purchased, they are licensed, so send them an OK TO RUN status when they launch it. Or am I mistaken?

Does Amazon have its own LVL type code? Or do you just have to forget licensing all together if you want to sell on Amazon?

Simply remove all LVL code from your app (making it unprotected), then select the copy protection radio button when submitting your app to Amazon. They'll add the licensing code to your app before resigning it and releasing it on the Amazon Appstore.

No store-provided licensing code works in other app stores. Many have rolled their own, with varying degrees of simplicity.

I have an app in Android Market. What should I do to ensure the app works in the Amazon Appstore?

You should make sure that your app does not include any copy protection functionality (you have the option to apply Amazon’s DRM technology – see our FAQ on DRM). You should also take a moment to understand the different signing options available to you (developer signed or Amazon signed) and choose the option that works best for your users.
