Transfer management of licensed applications from an original user equipment (UE) device to a destination UE device is facilitated by a communication network that tracks the inventory of software application that has been previously licensed, and suggests a suite of applications equivalent to, an upgraded version of, or an appropriate cross sell opportunity for a configuration (e.g., chipset and operating system) of a destination UE device (e.g., cellular telephone able to run applications such as games, media players, and personal organizers, etc.) Business rules automate pricing appropriate for the proposed configuration to automate and increase the convenience for both the user and provider. Once accepted, the appropriate executable code is distributed to the destination UE device, appropriate pro-rated billing is initiated, and the prior licensed applications either locked for subsequent transfer back, or deleted to effect a permanent transfer.
