I'm going to pass on some good advice I got from here.

Don't do it. The users don't understand the free + license model.

As amazing as this sounds, there will be people who buy your paid app
before installing the free version. And there will be people who
uninstall your free version, since they are about to buy the paid
version.

Both of them will wonder why they paid for a Pro version and it
doesn't show up - or do anything. They'll be asking you about this, or
hitting the refund button.

Meanwhile, the others will complain that there are two icons once
they've installed the license. To be nice, you'll take away the extra
icon, and the first group will be even more mystified.

I did the free + license app model. I switched over to demo and paid.
I did this just in time. With the 15 minute refund period, I would be
getting gobs of refunds.

It's more of a pain for you to build and update two products, and a
bit of a pain to transfer preferences. But it makes more sense for the
users, and is less of a pain then trying to explain it.
