Licencing for such a Freda setup will be managed via a licence server running on the Azure cloud. To buy the ‘premium features’ licence for this kind of installation, you’ll need to sign in to OneDrive using Freda, and make a PayPal payment to Turnipsoft.

Better than Google's obnoxious vampire/Zombie double act with Paypal or credit card. You can add a payment method in Playstore. You have to go to your account on Google website to remove it and then it's stiil there really, when you go to PayPal or whatever and you have to engage a human to delete it.
Why OneDrive at all? You can setup a PayPal button on a website easily. You'd of course need each download APK to have a unique ID and then the payment acknowledgement a key. Or have the program email and the licence key related to the email address of Paypal etc. I've used several schemes in the past.
Licence servers are horrible, though if it's a one time check, not too bad.
See Plays for Sure and expiring ACSM.
Still, this is good news.
