purchase codes (license keys) are not included for plugins which are bundled into the theme. It’s because of Themeforest license & agreements. This applies to all themes of course. However, there is no need to use this code because the plugins are fully functional without it.
Something like “Free” version of a plugin does not exist. All bundled plugins are included with extended licenses and users can use these plugins within the theme without needing to purchase them separately. This is standard and according to ThemeForest rules. More information about the bundled plugins, you will find here. Thanks!
"Unless you have purchased the plugin separately, the author of the theme will provide the latest version of the bundled plugin with their next theme update."
I have just updated the theme today and no update for layerslider.
We have to test the latest version of the plugin if it's fully compatible with our theme, it usually takes not a lot of time, but you have to wait for it.
It will surely be included in the changelog if it will be updated:
Um, I understand that you can't release instantly but my BeTheme layerslider (as per image previously) is currently on 6.8.3 which was released over 1 year ago on Apr 30 2019. The latest release was 6.11.1 on Apr 1, 2020 which was 10 weeks ago - https://layerslider.kreaturamedia.com/release-log/
If your theme is up to date, and you cannot update it, you should remove the plugin and install it once more - it will download the latest available version of plugin.
