有没有一种方法可以不经侧载就私下分发Windows应用商店

Question

I went through Windows Store App and distribution models. I want to distribute my application privately (not want to publish it in store). But Sideloading does not seems to be option either as it is very expensive ($3000). Is there a license or way for this?

Windows Phone Store seems to hiding app from store listing. Is that available for Store Apps?

Thanks in Advance

You have two options:

1. Use Windows Side-loading though volume license agreements (then sideloading only costs you $100 for unlimited devices - see : http://microsoft-news.com/you-can-buy-windows-8-1-enterprise-sideloading-rights-for-an-unlimited-number-of-devices-for-100/ )

2. Run perpetual beta, whereby you invite users to "test" or use your application in the app store (but it is hidden).
