Extremely rare and maybe shady practices here.

Premium user here.

1- Do not update if you are in version 5, version 6 is way buggy and it is in alpha state. Even if the owner does not know how to deactivate the update link after the premium expires why he submitted an alpha version of his/her plugin to WordPress? This is a premium plugin, people paid for it, people expect stable releases but they just become testers of a plugin in an alpha state.

2- Demo page is using version 5 but when you press install you get ALPHA version 6. So “What you see is what you get” is not happening here.

3- The owner has this common practice of using phrases “you want free stuff” and “you are ranting” to paying customers who just lost their premium if you ever dare to tell him/her something in the WordPress and the plugin website forum, if you are “lucky” enough of not getting your post deleted.

4- If you are happy with 5.0 and you think it is not worthy to upgrade to 6.0 and you don’t pay him/her another year of “support” you lose access to the plugin documentation. Support is expecting to receive direct feedback from the coder, documentation is not Support. This is the only plugin of dozens of paid plugins I have bought that hides the documentation after loosing premium.
I think not accessing the premium forum is fine, but not accessing the basic documentation of a plugin I paid for is not.

The owner really needs PR lessons or leaves someone else to manage his/her public relationships.
