The problem with this suggestion is that it won't last a switched SD card, factory reset or new device. I don't think that there's is a real good solution to this problem other than maintaining the paid app. You could transform the paid app into an "unlock key" and require your users to install the free version. After a grace period you can unpublish the unlock key app. I believe that your customers who purchased the paid version will still be able to download the unpublished app.
