I am building an Android app that uses a R/O Sqlite3 database. The corresponding desktop app will maintain the db.

What is a good way to update the mobile db from the desktop app without buying a license?

    WIth such a db size the update the whole db approach is IMO not a very good idea.
    Which Delphi version do you use?

    XE7 Pro for the desktop app. Lazarus for the mobile app.
    This is a grocery shopping app. Db has 7 tables, only 9 TEXT fields. The rest are numeric. My dev db is 16Mb.

    Hm. So ... no app tethering out of the box.
    One idea would be to have a tcp server on your desktop client workstation and connect peer to peer to this for an update task, but that will not be that easy because you could not rely on a permanent IP adress.
    Sorry - I cannot think of any easy way to do it without an intermediary server.
