All the included plugins, Visual Composer too, have extended licenses. This means they can be used by any one purchasing our theme as long as they use the version included in theme folder. You can not update it on your own terms with this type of licence.
The rules of the marketplace doesn’t allow us to give the plugin activation code. You can use the existing version without any problem. We update frequently all theme plugins to their latest versions in every theme release or in case when an urgent update is needed. So they are always fully compatible with the current theme version.
If you want to buy a license by yourself this is allowed, but we thought that this isn’t needed because the version included works perfectly.
You are free to make the choice that best fits your needs.
Ok, so I deleted the plugin and uploaded the one that came with the theme, but it’s still asking me to activate the license to be able to use it. When I try and do that it says I don’t have a license.
Visual composer license code sin’t included in theme. But you can use the plugin. If you have updated it to 4.11.2.1 and activated the plugin, then it’s fine. Soon we will launch a theme update with the latest version of visual composer.
