New Crack Evades Android App Licensing Scheme
The method was described in a post on AndroidPolice, in which the author details exactly how the licensing scheme works and what a user needs to do in order to evade it. The way that the Android Market Licensing service works is fairly simple. After a user downloads and installs a paid application, the service will check with the Market server to see whether the app is licensed. If it is not, the server will return a message saying that the app must be licensed. The licensing status is stored on the Market server and is signed using a unique key pair.
