API Documentation
1) Overview
Normally, AndroidLicenser.com will automatically generate an activation code for each purchase made through the Android Market, Google Checkout, or Paypal (if the developer has provided Google Checkout and/or Paypal merchant credentials). Activation codes can also be generated manually through the AndroidLicenser web dashboard.
In some cases, the developer needs to programmatically generate an activation code. For example, if the developer sells their apps through their own proprietary payment processing system, and needs to generate and send an activation code to the user upon purchase of an application, the API may be used.
