one of my small clients rang today, a (.org.au ) and says that one of their club members " knows everything about websites and want to take their website back so he can update it so .... can we have the passwords "
now i have no problem with that BUT, then i thought, hmmmmm, i built that site, its not an out of box wordpress template as i manipulated the function.php, home.php and CSS.
which fair enough they paid for.
but i also pay a yearly fee for the gravity form they use, the slider they use, and a few other plugins which i have bought unlimited site licences.
so, do i remove them? i'd look like a mean person, do i continue to pay renewals with no payment return for me.
NOTE: i've really dumbed this situation down as its worse then just a form and slider.

i had a thought i could say " no worries, but your yearly fee pays for these plugin renewals, so if you would like to move thats OK, andhere are the links to the website to purchase your own license as you will not be able to use mine"
is that fair?
so leaving me may actually cost them another $300+ p/a , because i spread the renewal costs across many businesses, eg: if something cost $100 p/a and i know i can use it more then 5 times i will purchase it.
another thing is if i hand over a website with my "paid plugin" registration number in it, i m then in no control of how many times they could re-use it.
whats your thoughts? i've mentioned this type of thing before but it still bugs me.
