    Yes. There’s only owner of any blog and it is the person with the username account who registered the blog and who purchased the upgrade for the blog. To access > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades you need to be logged in as Admin under the username account that owns the blog.

    For your client to become that blog’s owner you need to add their username account as an Admin and transfer the blog and any upgrades to that username account by using the transfer process.
