CommandFusion and AMX's TPControl both work that way -- free app, unlock
code tied to the device's unique ID goes in the project information to
unlock full functionality. I think TPControl also allows licensing to a
specific AMX processor. Lots of free apps require a paid account to unlock
full mobile functionality (Spotify, Evernote) There's a precedent for it.

You've seen other apps for the iPad that work like that?

I just don't understand why the app can't just be free and the license
purchased from the dealer like everyone else under the sun.

I don't really understand. How have they paid for iPad functionality in
their system already?

That's not true, these 30 iPads will not be on the same Apple ID. I
don't mind my customers paying $99 for the iPad app, but think that
customers that have paid for iPad functionality in their system should
not
have to pay twice. The explanation is techy, communication to customers
should always be solution driven imo.

For $99? Hell if they have 1 iPad it is $99. If they have 30
iPads, it
is $99. Sounds like a non-issue. You have a multiple factor of that
invested
in redesigning the panels.
Could be worse. AMX is over $700 PER DEVICE because they use a
licensing system and the customer doesn't buy the app (it's free). They
buy
a license from YOU. That is a lot tougher to explain but is still WAY
cheaper than buying an AMX/Crestron touch panel.

Hey guys, am I the only one who finds it hard to explain to my
customers who bought the Mobile Pro app recently that if they want to
upgrade their experience they need to purchase the upgrade for another
$99?
