Revoke Keys without removing from Library

Hey everyone, I have a question about itch.io keys/distribution that I couldn't find from the FAQ/Knowledge base:

Is there a way to create a download key that can be claimed multiple times and, when revoked, doesn't remove access to the game from the people who used it?

  1.  I want to give an unknown amount of testers access to the game by dropping a download key in a mass email, everybody who responds (soon-ish) should get access to the current build that is uploaded
  2. I don't want to have to manage sending individual keys to testers (and figuring out whether or not they claim them)
  3. I want to be able to revoke the key afterwards, to prevent it from being shared too widely
  4. But I'd like the testers to keep access to the builds in the future, I don't want to revoke their "ownership" of the game.


Is it possible to do this with the current distribution tools?
