Template App deployment options
Hey mwestergaard ,
I think that the problem is that the Template App has a dataset still connected to it. Andthat the dataset is linked still to your side.
I did some more research on it though and I believe that a Template App, by default, is still using the original licensing model fomr the app's original workspace. The way around that is to have everything - dataset and report moved into a Premium workspace.

Thanks collinq. I believe you've confirmed my suspicions about the relationship of dataset, workspace, and licensing. The template app approach was a good idea until the customer decided they needed the report and dataset to reside outside of the deployment workspace! It's more of a process issue than a technical problem. I'll have to arrange to publish directly to their target workspace, either by myself or by their admin. Thanks again!
