This sounds like fun, you're running a little startup within a firm that's been around a while! But I'm a little confused, do you have a prospective customer? Selling source code isn't really in vogue these days, all the cool kids sell their Software as a Service... But from the sounds of your post, you're already onboarding new customers into something. Is it a product that's just used internally? Where'd the idea to sell the source code come from?

"What's expected" is totally up to the SLA you agree upon with the customer, and if you don't have one, it's tough to say. Do you have a great sales and legal team who got you a million bucks in exchange for your buggy development snapshot, a 15-minute phone call with a developer, and an agreement that the code is sold as-is? Awesome! Or, did you charge ten bucks a month for a system with a 99.9999% uptime guarantee and unlimited on-call support? I'm sorry.

If you don't have a customer, and you don't really know whether you want to host the software as a service or sell the source, you've still got a long ways to go with this.
