How does the testing effort transition when the product is release?

Does it just take place on a test server?

There are no more beta testers and just paying customers.  While
some paying customers may feel they are still beta testers, treating
all paying customers as such is probably is not a good idea.

Even without a testing\QA staff numerous functions must be done by
someone.  Just updating a dozen or more servers with the latest
build entails an amount of risk that is usually worth a testing\QA
pass, for example.
