In the Google Play Developer Console > Development tools > Services & API, there is a license key that can be placed inside the Android/Fire > Extras > Enable Google Licensing (check mark this box) > Public Key section of GameMaker Studio 1.4's Global Game Settings. I know that when a APK that is signed with this license key is used on a mobile device, it checks to see if the APK was purchased and installed from its official Google Play Store webpage. If the APK is not purchased and installed from there, then the game cannot be played.

Is it possible to do something similar for Android games distributed on Amazon App Store? Can a APK be licensed with Amazon to check if it was purchased and installed from its official Amazon App Store webpage?
