Transfer management of licensed applications from an original user equipm ent (UE) device to a destination UE device is facilitated by a communication network that tracks the inventory of software application that has been pre viously licensed, and suggests a suite of applications equivalent to, an upg raded version of, or an appropriate cross sell opportunity for a configurati on (e.g., chipset and operating system) of a destination UE device (e.g., ce llular telephone able to run applications such as games, media players, and personal organizers, etc.) Business rules automate pricing appropriate for t he proposed configuration to automate and increase the convenience for both the user and provider. Once accepted, the appropriate executable code is dis tributed to the destination UE device, appropriate pro-rated billing is init iated, and the prior licensed applications either locked for subsequent tran sfer back, or deleted to effect a permanent transfer.
