I’m currently implementing LVL on my app and I thought about making a little joke that’d render the app unusable or very unconfortable to use when the app is unlicensed. What do you think about that? DO you think is better to just notify the user and close the app (or take the user to the market)?
I would highly advise against making it insulting in any way. I implemented LVL in my application with a simple popup and then redirect to to the Android Market. Unfortunately, there were a LOT of false positives (where users who had purchased the application could still not validate). I mentioned in the popup to contact me if it was a mistake, so I was able to help or refund these users, but I got quite a few negative reviews from it even implemented like that. I imagine the exchanges would have been significantly less friendly if my LVL dialog had been rude. (As a side note, I actually ended up removing LVL due to the false positives and because it was getting pirated anyways–both of which I probably could have improved with more code, but I decided it just wasn’t worth it)
