Android Licensing System (Step 5 of 5)

Distribute your licenses

License key files are secure and so you can freely distribute them. You can download your key via the URL;

http://licenses.funkyandroid.net/download/[package_name/]{id}

Where {id} is replaced by the ID of the license you wish to download, and [package_name/] is replaced with the package name of the most recent version of your application at the time the license was generated followed by a backslash. If no package name is found this section is omitted

Examples;

  • License ID : 1234, Package : com.andappstore.test, License URL : http://licenses.funkyandroid.net/download/com.andappstore.test/1234
  • License ID : 4567, No Package name, License URL : http://licenses.funkyandroid.net/download/4567

You could add code to your application to download a license to your application when the user supplies it's ID, or you can send the license file via email to the user, either way you don't need to use a secure method of communication because the license is already encrypted.
