Offer in-app product as gift to some user in Android

Is there an easy way or common pattern to follow to provide our users a way to redeem an in-app product for free?

Let me explain. Like many freemium apps, we've an in-app product that unlocks some parts of our app.

We'd like to provide our users the ability to unlock the in-app content without actually purchasing the in-app product. I know that in iOS there is some kind of license keys or coupon codes developers are using to provide such functionality.

A common example when this is useful is asking your users to translate your app in exchange of the premium version.

I have created an open source library based on the code from my other answer.

Check it out here.

Unfortunately there is nothing like this built in, you have to build this system yourself.

I have a system setup using Parse.com as a backend, storing their gmail id from the account manager, and a generated list of valid "keys" that I can send or directly associate with a users email.

Its a pain, and I really wish they would figure something out for this :(

Here is a gist with most of the relevant info. Ive gotten it to the point where its pretty much drag and drop.
