Summary

This article applies to the following:

  • BlackBerry App World storefront™

Details

Perform one of the following methods to submit an application using the Try & Buy license type:

Using the Static License model

  1. Begin a new application submission, and then select Try & Buy as the License Type.
  2. In step 7 of the process, create two different releases, and then verify that the trial bundle option Is this a trial? is selected.
  3. Upload the corresponding.cod bundles to the correct release. The trial .cod files should be with the trial release, and the full version .cod files should be with the full release.
  4. With the Static License model, there is no license key, so you need to provide BlackBerry App World with the trial binaries and the full binaries.

Using the Single, Dynamic, or Pool license models

  1. Begin a new application submission, and then select Try & Buy as the License Type.
  2. In step 7 of the process, create one release. Upload the .cod bundles for the application. The .cod files should be set to expire after a certain number of days, or set the files to have reduced functionality until a license key is entered.
  3. With the Single, Dynamic, or Pool license models, the key that the BlackBerry® smartphone user purchases at the end of their trial or purchases right away unlocks the full functionality of the application and removes the expiry date.

For both license types, BlackBerry smartphones can select Download Trial or Purchase in the BlackBerry App World client.
