Moving a single license app to Pro

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
Lewis

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

Single-folio apps with Pro subscription

Hello,
Are there any limitations for publishing single-folio apps using Pro subscription? Can I publish unlimited number of single-folio apps then? If no, what could it cost?
Thanks a lot!

You can create an unlimited number of apps with a Pro subscription.

Urgent - Updating single license app

Dear all,
I am confused on the update process when correcting minor issues using Adobe DPS.
I have made an app. I have bought a license. The app is ready to download in the app builder.
Now, I need to update some minor typos and rearrange the chapters and I can not for the life of me figure out how to rebuild the app, using the same license, and push it out so it is ready for distribution.
I have updated the Folio and updated the publication in the Folio Producer online and updated it there. Then I enter the App builder and edit the final app and press finish (the hourglass appears and I can see that the links for donwloading the Developer and Distribution apps reappear. In my world, this should now be links to the updated app with my corrected typos and rearranged chapters. But when I install the app on my iPad, no changes are applied. What am I doing wrong?
Can anyone enlighten me? This is pretty urgent.
Best regards,
Kim

Hi Himanshu,
I have the same issue with my test app, I saw some things to change so I did in my folio, updating it in the cloud, working good on the iPad preview etc But it doesn't work when I update my app. in App Builder with "Manage" and "Edit", it's still creating an .ipa of the first version.
I tried to create a new app but when I try to use my serial number it does work as I already used it to build the first version. Can I send you my serial number and Adobe ID so I can re-use them as well to recreate my app with the changes I had to make?
Thanks for your help

Update an Single edition app with different (pro) account

Hello,
I have question regarding updating SE apps.
1. From what I understand you can still create single edition apps for ipads after May 1st with a pro account, correct?
2. If I create an app now, with my CC account, can I later, after May 1st, create a professional account under a different name (company name, not mine) and update my old app? (assuming that my apple account and certificates stays the same)
Thank you
Alex

1. Yes.
2. Yes.

If we upgrade to a Professional Edition DPS license can we create an unlimited number of Single edition apps for iPad, iPhone and Android devices?

I work for a organisation based in Sydney and we have a team license for creative cloud (single edition).
We have been producing single folio apps for the iPad and want to continue this through 2015.
At the moment we can only create apps for the iPad platform. If we upgrade to a Professional Edition DPS license can we create an unlimited number of Single edition apps for iPad, iPhone and Android devices?
We do not need multi-folio apps as we are not a publishing company.

Thanks Neil
I sent an email yesterday and am awaiting a reply. Here is my email for reference.

We are not a publishing company so we will produce a small number of the apps. If you could get back to me with a solution and approx price that would be great.
Thanks for your time

Single folio app with DPS PRO

I have a dps Pro account.
I would like to create a single folio app for iOS( iPad-iphone) and android devices that it will be free of charge.
i know that single folio app can be created for iOS and in that case there is charge for folio fulfillment.Is that correct?
For android version can i create a single folio app?As i have see i think that this is not possible.Is that correct?In that case is there anything else that i could do?For example if i create a multi folio app and i upload only one folio will this work?In that case does the charge for folio fulfillment exist?

Single edition apps are iPad only and do not incur a download charge. For Android you need to create a multifolio app even if it will contain only a single folio.

Can you renew or extend an expired DPS single license?

Hi guys,
My single edition edition DPS license for my app has expired. Is there any way to renew or extand the license period? I ideally don't want to have to create a new app.
If I do purchase a new license and rebuild the app from scratch will i be able to just submit the new version as an update to iTunes? Or will the lower version number of the new app cause issues? I have had problems with this in the past when moving to DPS from an older platform.

No. A DPS “Single Edition” serial number is only valid for one year from the date it was first redeemed.
I would suggest you to upgrade to Creative Cloud, With Creative Cloud, you can build as many Single Edition apps.

Can I add my existing, licensed apps to my list of 'Purchases' on the Mac App Store so I don't have to buy them twice?

Hello,
I was wondering if I could add my existing, licensed apps to the list of app 'Purchases' that I have on the Mac App Store.
The reason for this is that I recently suffered the inevitable hard disk failure and I had to rebuild my MacBook Pro from scratch (with the help of Time Machine and Migration Assistant, etc.). As usual, I hadn't really maintained my MBP for quite a while and things sort of got away from me, in terms of data, apps, preferences, permissions, users (my personal account, my wife's account, my old work account...), etc.
So I wanted to rebuild my MBP on a clean slate. I like having the ability to quickly download and install just the right apps that I "really" need from MAS safe in the knowledge that:
they are there (assuming they're still available through MAS) with a full description of what they do and when I bought them, etc.
they are going to be in the most up-to-date version,
I'll be able to download and install them cleanly with no corruption from years of multiple user preference changes and permissions, etc.
that they will be managed and maintained (updated) through the same mechanism,
so much more.
The benefits of having apps from MAS are easy to see when compared to going through my downloads folder and emails looking for the latest installers, working out what they're for in the first place, finding the license key in some forgotten e-mail, etc.
I am aware that I can build a clean machine and then restore just the right apps in their most up-to-date version as I had them on my backups. The one thing to say about that is that the apps may have been used and abused once too many times and their preferences, etc. may not be in the most desirable form. It's just not as elegant as the MAS solution.
I realise that not all apps, app versions, or app vendors, are available through MAS. But I still have a fair few apps currently available on MAS that were bought prior to the existence of MAS, prior to them becoming available on MAS, or were bought directly for some other reason (by mistake).
So I wondered if there was any way I could convert my legitimate licenses from simply a direct purchase to one through MAS and have those apps listed under my 'Purchases' list. It would reduce the amount of work I'd have to do, not only to rebuild my machine but also to maintain it.
I cannot find any reference or way of having this work the way I would like it to. But I was hoping that some Apple guru would enlighten me.
I have thought about the possible mechanisms something like this would need to work and I must admit I see some not insurmountable issues (not as much technical as legal or possibly logistical). I realise that MAS is a service in its own right and as such has its own Terms, Conditions and Licensing that may not be compatible with the licenses that I already have. I also realise that when I purchase an app from MAS that I'm paying for the entire service including updates and use on multiple machines that I may own, etc. Obviously I do not want to pay the full purchase cost again for the same app twice, but I am willing to pay a small conversion/upgrade fee to have it managed as part of my 'Purchases' on MAS. Think of it in the same terms as iTunes works. I can purchase music, etc. but I can also add my own CD collection and have it managed by iTunes and store it in the cloud should anything go wrong with my local machine, etc.
So if this is currently not possible, then for the Apple MAS product managers out there, consider this as a suggestion/feedback. I'd be happy to discuss my thoughts in more detail about not only how to achieve this for now but also for the future when you may add existing applications to MAS that people may have previously bought direct and would like to have managed through MAS going forward. The benefits to the users are hopefully clear, but from Apple's perspective I hope that you can see the advantages too, commercially, etc.
PS: I apologise for the wordiness of my query and overuse of 'etc.', etc.

Can I add my existing, licensed apps to my list of 'Purchases' on the Mac App Store so I don't have to buy them twice?
No. Only apps purchased from the App Store can be re downloaded for free including updates.

Kindle single-folio apps?

Is it still not possible to build single-folio apps for Kindle? (And Android in general?)
I'm assuming that hasn't changed but haven't paid attention. If not possible, is it on the horizon? (Is it a Kindle Store issue, or a viewer builder issue? Assuming the former.)
thanks

Single Edition Apps

Apologies for a newbie kind of question, but I'm wanting to know about publishing a single use app via our Adobe CC subscription.
The idea is a learning exercise to design + publish an app that I'd want to update fairly regularly - its tied to sports stats and infographics with interactivity, which I'd want to update through the season (at times every 1-2 weeks), but it could be 14 or so times in a year. Is this practical?
I would favour each update submitted to have fairly substantial additions each time as I want to give anyone who downloads it extra, new stuff each time… but do Apple get frustrated or tetchy about constant and/small updates to single edition apps? Do they critique stuff?
The app would be FREE.
Also, if an update is accepted, do people who have downloaded a previous version get notified, or would I have to do this via Twitter or similar.
Thanks.
Craig

Thanks for the replies, Neil and Bob
I though this might be the case - I understand their reasons. Its almost like there needs to be an inbetween license for small publishers maybe, for non-commercial apps. Clearly what I want to do is beyond the single edition license, but the cost of the other license types is simply beyond me.
However, I think I can still tackle it. What I have developing does have plenty of interactive content for users (certainly cpompared to some stuff I have seeen), but I may just have to prepare it all as more of a season's 'retrospective analysis', then submit it to Apple to avoid constant updates.
Above all, its a process of learning DPS - that's the main thing. Its really just starting to make its presence felt here in New Zealand, so its a pretty exciting product… especially for an old print dog liek me who needs some new tricks!
Cheers guys.

Transfer from Single Edition App to Multifolio

Can I use the same name of the app (APP ID), if I wanted to change my app from single editon to multifolio (pro or enterprise)?

Yes. Just upload the new viewer configured as a multi-folio app to iTunes, replacing the old one. You might have to contact product support to get them to reset the version number for you to one that is larger than the previous single edition app's version number.

Single license on two computers?

I'm creating a budget for my office. I know that for Adobe Creative Suite, a single license can be installed on two machines. For example, I have a tower in my office, but I also have a laptop for moving around, and I'm allowed to install that single instance/license of Adobe CS5 on both machines, legally.
Can anyone tell me if I can install a single license of Final Cut Studio and/or Logic Studio on two machines this way? Or, do I have to buy two licenses to have the software package in both places?

Can anyone tell me if I can install a single license of Final Cut Studio and/or Logic Studio on two machines this way?
If one machine's a desktop Mac and the other's a laptop Mac, yes. If not, you need two separate licenses.

Newsstand for single issue app?

Hello,
I am doing a monthly magazine for the iPad with the Adobe DPS Single Edition that comes with the Creative Cloud. That means I can only do single-issue apps (1 issue in the app) and I cannot do multi-issue apps (several issues in 1 app). My client is not willing to pay the "expensive" Adobe DPS Professional Fee of 3600 euros per year what is understandable as my client is a middle-sized publisher. So far, I've always brought the latest magazine issue on the App Store via an app update (version 1.1, version 1.2, version 1.3 etc.). However, the problem here is that I have to wait for that app update to be reviewed and approved by Apple. In the past 6 months, that has usually taken 3 to 4 days. Now, it's already been taking 7 days and the current magazine issue is very time sensitive and my client is quite upset about that (understandably).
So I was thinking of changing the app into an app that appears in the Newsstand. However, I read that Newsstand does not support single-issue apps which makes sense to a certain extent. But I am desperately trying to find an alternate solution for my dilemma as I really want to prevent the waiting time for an app to be reviewed/approved. I've already called iTunes Connect in the US to discuss the whole thing through and they said that automatic background downloads (like I need them for my magazine app) are ONLY possible with a Newsstand app.
I'm really stuck with my problem. Can somebody please give me a helping hand here as this is really a serious issue?

Short of paying for a pro or enterprise account there is nothing you can do.
You can check out alternate provider but you'll find that while some may be
less expensive there's no free way to handle this.
