+<h3 id="marketLicensing">Using Android Market Licensing Service</h3>
+<p>Android Market offers a licensing service that lets you enforce licensing
+policies for paid applications that you publish through Android Market. With
+Android Market Licensing, your applications can query Android Market at run time
+to obtain their licensing status for the current user, then allow or disallow
+further use as appropriate. Using the service, you can apply a flexible
+licensing policy on an application-by-application basis &mdash; each
+application can enforce its licensing status in the way most appropriate
+for it. </p>
+
+<p>Any application that you publish through Android Market can use the Android
+Market Licensing Service. The service uses no dedicated framework APIs, you can
+add licensing to any legacy application that uses a minimum API level of 3 or
+higher.</p>
+
+<p>For complete information about Android Market Licensing Service and how to
+use it in your application, see <a
