All the included plugins, 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 don’t allow us to give the plugin activation code. You can use the existing versions 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 this isn’t needed because the version included works perfectly.
You are free to make the choice that best fits your needs.

You can find plugins installation files inside theme’s main package. As mentioned, the plugins are updated in every new theme release. But from one theme update to another, some may get upgraded from their authors. If you can not wait for us to update and want to have them earlier then you will have to buy the plugins to update.

To update plugins from theme, please follow the steps:

• 1-Go to Plugins, Deactivate the plugin you wish to update and then delete it. Including the files;
• 2-Back to your dashboard, you will find a message requiring you to install required (or optional) plugins;
• 3-In the list of plugins to install, you will find your plugin as well.
• 4-Install it again by following the online steps;

During the install process wordpress will go and find the installation file that is inside the theme’s package. Installing this way the included version. And it’s done!
