Hello,
Since 2022, we have been using the Gantt Chart by MAQ Software for free in our report. Recently, it has become paid and now requires a license. Is it mandatory to purchase it? Additionally, what should we do with other custom visuals if they suddenly become paid and the client can no longer use them?
Best regards,
Dana

Hello @ussenova ,
Vendors are free to change their offering and terms including pricing as they see fit. Presumably this for any business owner would be viewed as a business expense without further concern. Consider reaching out to the vendor to discuss this further.
