I'm currently using the google licensing service for my app to protect it from being illegally copied.
I'm thinking about to remove it.
Why?
I currently have two versions of the app. A free version with ads (which don't use licensing service) and a paid version which uses the licensing service.
The problem with the paid version is that it can only be purchased from Google play store. I now want to publish my app on some other stores, too (AndroidPIT, Amazon, ...) and there are two choices:
1. Remove the licensing check at all.
2. Use the stores licensing check feature of every store you want to sell your app with. (This will result in writing some additional library wrappers I think since there is only the Google one available)
The drawback of choice 2 is that you have to create several versions of your app and this is a bad thing to handle.
Anyone here has experiences with paid apps that don't use the licensing service? How much will they be pirated compared to an app that is protected with the licensing service?
