How do I install an appx manually on multiple Windows Phone 8.1 devices?

Install an appx manually on multiple Windows Phone 8.1 devices

I'm doing a Windows Phone 8.1 application. It works ok, I can try it on emulator and on my phone, because I've registered it.

Now, I have to pass the app to my client to test it (they are going to test it on multiple devices). I was looking but I didn't find any answer to this questions:

- How can I create and send them an appx that they can install on their phones?

- What kind of developer license I need?

- Do they have to register their phones with the same certificate I create the appx?

- How can they install the appx I've sent them via email for example?

Thank you very much!

You could just publish it to the beta store and register their Microsoft accounts for it, so that only they can access, download and install it.

Thank you very much, that sounds great, but... could you please clarify me some other questions? Sorry, if it's a newbie question, but I'm starting with Windows phone, Windows phone certificates and Windows store.

- What kind of certificate I need to publish to the beta store?
- Can I use different certificate to publish to the beta store and then to publish to store?

Thank you!

I'm not a WP dev, so I don't have the slightest clue either, sorry.
