I don't think you can do anything.

I assume that the current binaries does not come with
"call home" functionality.

So you will need to release a new version to get
that functionality in.

And in that case the users need to see your download
page (that obviously informs about this) and then
the functionality is no longer needed.

Use @Deprecated and put a highly visible note on
download page - I think that is what you can do.
