multiple copies of same app

I have an app that other companies want.  Is it possible for me to make multiple copies of the same application - and have it controlled by 1 master template, so any updates I do in the master app will flow through to the individual apps?

I was thinking of having the following scenario:

have multiple versions of the same app in 1 billing account.  each app for a company.  Then Create user groups for each company that uses the app - The group (company) will then have access to their own version of the app.

I dont know if there is some best practice documentation on this type of stuff.  The idea is simple; i have an app that I want to monetize - what is the best way of doing it under 1 umbrella billing company.

    Hi Jeff and Alex. Since there is some renewed interest in this content, I thought I would clarify a few things:


    1. Our Enterprise Governance team is currently looking at Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) utilities that could be considered a more robust sandbox. We are also thinking about the notion of master/child template deployments.
    2. I suggest reaching out to your account executive (connect with Care via support if you need to be routed) regarding pricing as we have a lot of options to facilitate these types of agreements.
  • Thanks, Harrison. We've done #2 (and our experience so far has been great as we figure out how to negotiate, in partnership, the next few steps we take), I was just curious to see that any conversation on the topic had taken place in public, even if it was a bit dated.
