As @Chris told that you can use "unlock" approach, i will explain it how i do in such conditions.

You can have a table like 'Features' should have have a column/flag IsAvailable. If you want to restrict certain features you can set its IsAvailable flag to FALSE.

If you have changes in DB structure, then you should upgrade the DB using:

@Override
public void onUpgrade()
{
  if (condition == true)
    // alter table
}
