In this case, you get to keep the licence, provided that it wasn't too recent a purchase. The logic in the application is that, if you buy the licence on a particular device, then for the next few weeks the app will make periodic checks with the licence server to confirm that the payment hasn't been reversed or refunded. After those few weeks it will conclude that the licence on that device is valid and will always be valid - so it will stop checking with the licence server, and will store a permanent licence on the device.

The licence server logic allows you to share a licence across up to ten active devices ('active' means 'used in the past month or so'). So when you install Freda on the new device and give it permission to talk to the licence server, it will see that you've already bought Freda on another device, and will enable Freda premium features on the new device. That should cover most cases of 'switching to a new device'. I'm not proposing to add a flow for actually switching the 'purchased' record from one device to another - because it would be too complicated to use (there'd be user actions required on both the old device and the new device, and much scope for it all to go wrong).
