Hi there!
thanks so much for going to that trouble, I'm really impressed.

Is the grace period based on when it was purchased or installed? If the latter I can uninstall and reinstall. If the former I had purchased CC the other week when I was still seeing if I could share media/folders between accounts (and waiting for Tesco to reply).

The one thing in your list that is different to me, is that the Hudl2 has no 3G capabilities. It is wifi only. It is permanently on the wifi at home, so that part is no trouble. I suppose that is confusing then as it works fine for you on wifi. Hopefully Tesco will respond and advise if there is something in the overlay they have on top of the Android system that prevents licence checks.

I have just tried the other option - connected in admin account without problem. Opened daughter's account - had the 'connect' option showing top right (unfortunately not showing connected) and when I pressed it got both the application not licensed message and on top of that a 'failed to connect' message as 'some other device is currently connected'.

Yeah, I'm guessing that the games and educational activities we've bought so far just chose not to licence check. I didn't know this was something apps did until this one, and I do totally understand about trying to avoid the rampant piracy (I hadn't considered this applied to apps as well books/music).

thx
