Do i need Licence if i only distribute locally?

Hi all, i would like to check if i am developing an AR app (mapping target to video file) locally (Not going to publish to Play store or App Store). do i need to purchase any license if i am going to distribute locally to a group of people ? 

As this project is still in prototyping thats why for now only distributing locally and not in play store or app store.

 

 

 

hmm okie.

The next thing is if my first prototype is to store everything including the videos in the app do i need to purchase the Licence ? (have to show my management that this idea works before i can seek for funding to get licence)

 

Hey there,

 

Sure! Showing the app internally to your management is totally fine. You can use Vuforia completely for free during the development process. Currently, when you are publishing it on the app store, you need to have a paid license.

 

Hi Patrick, actually my question is that my pilot app, i will be releasing it to a group of students and see the response. I will be passing the student the apk to install instead of using the APP store or play store. I will not be using any vuforia cloud functions.

As long as you're making sure the students are not publishing the app on the app store and that there's no money made from the pilot app, there's nothing to worry about and you can continue to use the developer license.
