<h2 id="licensing">Protecting your App</h2>
-<p>To help you protect your application against piracy, Google Play offers a
-licensing service that you can implement in your app. It’s a network-based
-service that lets an application query a trusted Google Play licensing server to
-determine whether the application is licensed to the current device user.</p>
+<p>Google Play provides two key features to help you protect your application
+against piracy — Google Play Licensing and app encryption.</p>
+
+<p> Google Play Licensing is a network-based service that you implement in your
+app. The service lets your app query a trusted licensing server at runtime, to
+determine whether the app is licensed to the current device user. You can use
+the licensing service to protect any app, even apps that you distribute for
+free. For an overview of the service, see <a
+href="{@docRoot}google/play/licensing/index.html">Application
+Licensing</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Additionally, Google Play offers app encryption to help protect your priced
+apps. When delivering your priced apps to devices running Android 4.1 or higher,
+Google encrypts the app binary so that it can be run only by the user who
+downloaded it, on the device to which it was originally downloaded. Your priced
+apps benefit from app encryption automatically — there's no extra
+development work or configuration needed.</p>

-<p>Beginning with API Level 8, you can allow your application to be installed on the

-for your application with the <a
-href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html#install">{@code
-android:installLocation}</a> manifest attribute. If you do
-<em>not</em> declare this attribute, your application will be installed on the internal storage
-only and it cannot be moved to the external storage.</p>
-
-<p>To allow the system to install your application on the external storage, modify your
-manifest file to include the <a
-href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html#install">{@code
-android:installLocation}</a> attribute in the <code><a
-href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html"><manifest></a></code> element,
-with a value of either "{@code preferExternal}" or "{@code auto}". For example:</p>
-
-<pre>
-<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
- android:installLocation="preferExternal"
- ... >
-</pre>
-
-<p>If you declare "{@code preferExternal}", you request that your application be installed on the
-external storage, but the system does not guarantee that your application will be installed on
-the external storage. If the external storage is full, the system will install it on the internal
-storage. The user can also move your application between the two locations.</p>
-
-<p>If you declare "{@code auto}", you indicate that your application may be installed on the
-external storage, but you don't have a preference of install location. The system will
-decide where to install your application based on several factors. The user can also move your
-application between the two locations.</p>
-
-<p>When your application is installed on the external storage:</p>
-<ul>
- <li>There is no effect on the application performance so long
-as the external storage is mounted on the device.</li>
- <li>The {@code .apk} file is saved on the external storage, but all private user data,
-databases, optimized {@code .dex} files, and extracted native code are saved on the
-internal device memory.</li>
- <li>The unique container in which your application is stored is encrypted with a randomly
-generated key that can be decrypted only by the device that originally installed it. Thus, an
-application installed on an SD card works for only one device.</li>
- <li>The user can move your application to the internal storage through the system settings.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p class="warning"><strong>Warning:</strong> When the user enables USB mass storage to share files
-with a computer or unmounts the SD card via the system settings, the external storage is unmounted
-from the device and all applications running on the external storage are immediately killed.</p>
-
-
-
-<h2 id="Compatiblity">Backward Compatibility</h2>
-
-<p>The ability for your application to install on the external storage is a feature available only
-on devices running API Level 8 (Android 2.2) or greater. Existing applications that were built prior
-to API Level 8 will always install on the internal storage and cannot be moved to the external
-storage (even on devices with API Level 8). However, if your application is designed to support an
-API Level <em>lower than</em> 8, you can choose to support this feature for devices with API Level 8
-or greater and still be compatible with devices using an API Level lower than 8.</p>
-
-<p>To allow installation on external storage and remain compatible with versions lower than API
-Level 8:</p>
-<ol>
- <li>Include the {@code android:installLocation} attribute with a value of "{@code auto}" or
-"{@code preferExternal}" in the <code><a
-href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html"><manifest></a></code>
-element.</li>
- <li>Leave your {@code android:minSdkVersion} attribute as is (something <em>less
-than</em> "8") and be certain that your application code uses only APIs compatible with that
-level.</li>
- <li>In order to compile your application, change your build target to API Level 8. This is
-necessary because older Android libraries don't understand the {@code android:installLocation}
-attribute and will not compile your application when it's present.</li>
-</ol>
-
-<p>When your application is installed on a device with an API Level lower than 8, the {@code
-android:installLocation} attribute is ignored and the application is installed on the internal
-storage.</p>
-
-<p class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong> Although XML markup such as this will be ignored by
-older platforms, you must be careful not to use programming APIs introduced in API Level 8
-while your {@code minSdkVersion} is less than "8", unless you perform the work necessary to
-provide backward compatibility in your code. For information about building
-backward compatibility in your application code, see the <a

- application <em>can</em> be installed to internal or external storage, including SD cards.</dd>
-</dl>
-
-<p>If your application uses any of the features listed above, you <strong>should not</strong> allow
-your application to install on external storage. By default, the system <em>will not</em> allow your
-application to install on the external storage, so you don't need to worry about your existing
-applications. However, if you're certain that your application should never be installed on the
-external storage, then you should make this clear by declaring <a
-href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html#install">{@code
-android:installLocation}</a> with a value of "{@code internalOnly}". Though this does not
-change the default behavior, it explicitly states that your application should only be installed
-on the internal storage and serves as a reminder to you and other developers that this decision has
-been made.</p>
-
-
-<h2 id="Should">Applications That Should Install on External Storage</h2>
-
-<p>In simple terms, anything that does not use the features listed in the previous section
-are safe when installed on external storage. Large games are more commonly the types of
-applications that should allow installation on external storage, because games don't typically
-provide additional services when inactive. When external storage becomes unavailable and a game
