You would like to sell the app but you don't want to share or give away your Buzztouch control panel. Solution: Create a new (identical) app with a different users name using the same package name. Take the 'Old' app offline. Take the 'New app' online for future updated. End result: App user doesn't notice any change. App is now controlled by New Control Panel User.

Now here's the interesting part, you can now duplicate the BTv2.0 app. Neat trick. Thanks to GoNorthwest for assistance in developing this technique.

Also, one of the most powerful features in BT server is the ability for the administrator to change an app from one user to another. Totally powerful feature from a marketing standpoint, but I'm not sure that many people appreciate it yet. Comments Yes!
