jimbobalu Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Does the paid version require an always on internet connection? I paid for this app and don't want to be treated like a criminal and have to constantly phone home for the app to work. What do I do when I want to use this app on a plane or where there is no data connection?Dev, I realize you want to fight piracy but you know no matter what you do it will be pirated. Don't make me, the paying customer, want to get the better pirated version because it won't have the "phone home" feature.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Thank you for the question.It uses standard LVL approach (this is controlled by Google server responses actually). It checks for LVL license once after unlocker is installed.And it checks in 48 hours (as Google claims - they set the VT (next check) parameter which forces the player to recheck in that time).After that it doesn't check anything, no data connection is needed to run the app (VT is set to very large value, according to Google).If it fails to check the license (due to internet problems or by any other cause), it will do the retry next time it's started. Again, this is pretty standard LVL approach you can see in any paid app using the LVL.I'm adding this to F.A.Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarge78 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hi max, Just to confirm... Can you re download the unlock application if you need to reformat your phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 You can. Market will always show the unlock app as purchased for your google account (even on another phone). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porl Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hi, New here and may I say great product. However, I'm a little confused about the licensing on this.I downloaded the trial last night, thought ok I'll buy this which I did.In the market It says I have purchased the item, but every time it attempts to download the unlocker it says; 'Download Unsuccsesful'. I have to cancel download and try again. Next time it will say the same thing... Authorizing purchase - Downloading unlocker - Download unsucsessful. I've tried this on Wi-fi and mobile networks.Any thoughts?Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smabbage Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Sounds like one of the occasional Marketplace issues that pops up from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svp-mgdn Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Write in this thread, as in the Russian-speaking questions often remain unanswered, and maxmp visits rarely...The problem as follows: i purchased a license for the program, downloaded unlocker, but the test does not pass without a Google account.I don't use Market and Google mail ( use only downloaded program in 4pda.ru) , and when buying wrote a non-existent mailbox, but with the same name as the mail.ru, hope to register it later.Later it turned out that the name of which I entered to check the license, do not register, and now I don't understand how to pass a test license...Please help with the problem of testing the license WITHOUT account to Google mail. Is it possible? If not, how can I change the email for the activation?Can attach the file with details about the purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colifa Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The support for this product really sucks. They keep pointing at Google for the license verification, without admitting that it is their own choosing to use Google's LVL.I want to be able to use this without an Internet connection - and I do not care how they validate this. I have paid for the product, and the validation is not my issues. Since the validation is done every 48hs, there is no way to detect this issue before the refund period is over.Please fix, or provide a refund, and please do not insult your user's intelligence by deflecting the question to Google.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colifa Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 For all those that are having a license check issue, and have no internet connection, a possible workaround (just tested with 2.07) is to restore a backup of the app+date (I'm using Titanium Backup).I still do not know how long it will last as a workaround (may need to recheck soon), but I got it working again without having to use an internet connection.Some things I've found:It check for the license every 48hsIt does not cache the license for four months (or weeks), as some moderators claimEnjoy!PS: By doing this you don't even need to reinstall, so all your settings are saved (Poweramp does not provide an option to store the settings as a separate file) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
