There’s no way to “clean” them. Trust, I understand the desire, but I’m not sure using pirated plugins on production e-commerce sites is the best idea. If your website gets malware from it, your customer data is at risk along with the business itself.
Some plugins have simple variables to check if you purchased, and you might be able to change it in the plugin editor and get the full features. This won’t work for plugins that phone home.
The issue is, that unlike movies, games and others, these plugins are no harder to pirate, but way harder to hide. It’s not like a “Yeah, you could get in trouble.”, but more like a “If anyone catches you, you are not going to financially recover.”, which given the scope of clients (Fam, friends and yourself) and the fact, that these Websites are likely to be on the internet, is incredibly likely. Why not use a free and open source alternative?

This is the best comment so far! Interesting
And if your client (or client’s insurance) is just half-way competent, they will notice that some stuff have no activated license.
You will end up in a world of pain.
Just don’t do that.
I make websites mostly for myself, everything else for friends, or neighbors, etc
Please, don’t teach me where I will end up, everything is good 😬 especially in a piracy community

I’m a foss guy myself, running graphene os with no proprietary apps except pirated games in a separate profile
Very sad to hear that pirates are afraid of something, I never get in trouble
It’s really interesting to see somebody makes assumptions about me, especially strong assumptions 😄
Where did I make assumptions about you?
