Native Development

[BBSJdev]

Hi,

Having spent all day reading up on generating license keys with the usual confusion that comes from RIM's documentation I can now implement a dynamic license system in Java.

The trouble is my apps in  C++/Cascades.

According to documentation its on the device in a key paring accessed by the CoreModule.

In Java you would do this after initialising the CoreModule;

  String lc = group.getProperty("RIM_APP_WORLD_LICENSE_KEY");

How do I retrieve it using native??

If this is not possible then second best how can I get the device id?

Noone else doing this?

OK, so turns out this isn't possible as RIM have apparently abandoned Dynamic licenses for BB10,

Sure enough you can get a PIN and a license key, starting with "test...", from your package when debugging but any hashing code you write using these won't work in the release, two options exist, either;

1. Develop your own licensing system (pending as whether this will be necessary, watch piracy a few months after BB10 release)

2. Use the in app purchasing APIs.

The full discussion on this can be found in the cascades forum with a link to a response from RIM.
