hi Timofey that is how we will be deploying our app. Users add a specific email address as a developer and then we load/maintain the source code remotely. A simple cron request makes a call back to our controlling app (on GAE) so we can change limits, upgrade features or turn off the remote app (in the event they subsequently remove the developer email account and stop paying). There are probably many other ways to combat this issue
this setup works well in practice. The user pays Google directly for usage and then licenses the software from us. It turned out to be a lot easier then running it as a service (single GAE app) and having to be the middle-man between the user and Google. Trying to estimate how they would be billed per month was difficult and seemed like a duplication of the existing infrastructure. Also, a flat fee might have been more profitable (or not) but IMO does not play to one of GAE's biggest strengths, true utility billing. of course, this all breaks if Google decides to allow code downloads in the future but we'll cross that bridge if and when we come to it :) cheers brian On Jan 18, 10:47 am, "Nick Johnson (Google)" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Timofey, > > You own the app, so you're welcome to do anything you like with it as long > as it's not in violation of our TOS.
