DomoPad paid edition on a new device?

Post by nathanw »

I'm in the process of replacing my phone, and after account migration noticed that my DomoPad install on the new phone was the free edition, rather than the Ultimate edition I paid for on my other phone. Is that state supposed to follow me from one device to the next?

(While I'm at it, using the backup API in 6.0 to store DomoPad configuration would be a wonderful thing to do: http://developer.android.com/training/b ... ncapi.html )

No sir, the license is through normal Play Store licensing which means it should follow devices and one purchase should authorize all your devices (well, Play Store may impose a limit on registered devices against an account, but DomoPad doesn't.) My guess is that it is not properly reading its purchase information from the Play Store. I am actively working on improving some of the background processing, but try going to the Upgrade screen in DomoPad -- that should force a reload of the purchase history (this should be pulled on the main screen too, though, which is puzzling).

I actually am considering a couple of backup options for the configuration, including within Indigo itself; this way you might could send the same config to all devices. Backing up through Google is an option too, though, just have to decide what will give the best experience.

Ah ha, pilot error; thank you for the hint. I had DomoPad installed from my corporate account instead of my personal account, and the upgraded purchase was through my personal account (When you have an app purchased from Play in multiple accounts, it's anybody's guess which one the app will be associated with when it gets automatically reinstalled on a new device with both accounts. "Doctor, it hurts when I do this.").

Reinstalled from my personal account, and the Ultimate edition is back for me.
