About the migration from C2DM to GCM and the google account

I have a question about the migration from C2DM to GCM in my app.

Right now, I'm using C2DM, and the people using my apps are required to have a google account created in the Account & Sync menu. If I migrate to GCM, will this still be required ? Will it work with custom ROM under Android 4.0.3 ?

Thanks, have a good weekend.

From developer.android.com:

GCM uses an existing connection for Google services. For pre-3.0 devices, this requires users to set up their Google account on their mobile devices. A Google account is not a requirement on devices running Android 4.0.4 or higher.

There is no reason why it shouldn't work on a custom rom (if the Google Apps are installed), so yes it would work.
