Update Theme Version 17.7.1
Hi, I need to update a website build 8 years ago, which had no updates. The current version is Theme Version 17.7.1...
It has a Child Theme activated.
How can I update it if I can't see any button or place to do it?
Thanks

Hi,
You must download the Betheme package from ThemeForest and install it like a new theme.

However, I highly recommend creating a backup using the Duplicator plugin before updating.

If I install it again, do I lose my content?
And another question... will I lose the licence number? This website was made a long time ago...
I'm looking for the purchase code but I can't find it in my purchased codes list... I'm not sure if is this one.... (https://api.muffingroup.com/licenses/)
No, you should not lose anything. Anyway that is why backup is necessary, as it is hard to predict how such old version will behave.
Also, you will not lose your license number.
Please do not share your license key here as others can see it. After an update go to Betheme -> Dashboard, and register the license key there.
Best regards
Ok thank you!
