    Moving a single license app to Pro

    lewkeo Community Member

      Hi all,

       

      Hoping someone can give me an idea on the following:

       

      Situation

      We have a magazine app published in the app store. The app has been created with the Adobe single license. The app is a paid for app, but obviously can't support subscriptions. We intend to upgrade to the Pro license to enable quarterly editions of the magazine.

       

      Questions

      Is it possible to move the single app into the pro app so it becomes an folio?

      Can we carry over the data to enable those that have purchased the single app to access it within the pro app?

       

       

      Thanks in advance

          Hmm, good question. Updating the app is easy: replace the app in the store with a new version that was based on Pro, with multi-issue support. People who have already paid for and downloaded it will get an update that changes it to the multi-issue version.

           

          The bigger challenge is entitling the previous purchasers to the issue that was previously bundled into the single edition app. I can't think of any way to do that for your previous paid users since you have no idea who they are. Honestly I would say don't worry about it and just make the issue that was previously included in the Single Edition app as free to all of your users, even ones that didn't pay for the older version of the app. In the grand scheme of things it likely won't cost you very much, provides your potential subscribers/purchasers with sample content, and is zero hassle for you

            Thanks Neil,

             

            I have considered that, but I don't want to be left open to readers wanting a refund if it suddenly becomes free.

             

            Hmmm indeed.
