I'm not sure it does, actually. Consider your existing Pro users, most of whom presumably don't have the Lite version installed. When you convert Pro into (in your words) "just a marker app", all these users will lose the functionality until they go download the app formerly know as Lite. They'll also end up with both items in their app list unless you go through some shenanigans with hiding the Pro token app; I say "shenanigans" because you can't afford to hide it for users who *don't* have Lite installed. That's a PITA, I know, I've done that kind of thing. And in any case, you're likely to annoy and confuse a good percentage of your existing paid users.
