Hello Crackberry dev community,

Just got my first Blackberry a few months ago and am contemplating create an app that I might want to sell in the as-of-yet non-existent app-store. I have a few basic questions about this process however.

The app I have in mind is a front-end app to run on a blackberry, and accesses services made available on some web server I'd have to set up. Now, if I'd like to ensure that only people who purchased the app can access the services made available on the web server, how would I go about doing that?

I was imagining that I would accomplish this by using the unique ID (PIN) of the device, using

DeviceInfo.getDeviceID()

passing it into the server and validating that the device is one from which the app was actually purchased.

Question is, with the new app storefront, will I get PIN information per purchase? Or will I have to require each purchaser to register their pin on the server?

Or am going about this the completely wrong way? Should I not be using one's PIN?

Please advise, and thanks in advance for your help!
