Bought Be Theme today - upon install, it appears the Visual Composer plugin is outdated?
Hi, we purchased the Be Theme package ($59) through ThemeForest today - we're VERY excited about working with this new theme - thanks for the hard work it must have taken to assemble this theme package!
We were a bit concerned that it appears two of the elements of the Be Theme (i.e., the included plugins) may be outdated. Here are the messages we got when we installed those plugins as instructed, after we uploaded the Be Theme .zip file into our RomanceTravelSpecialists.com WP dashboard:
LayerSlider WP
"You need to authorize this site in order to get upgrades or support for this plugin."
Purchase a license - $18
WPBakery Visual Composer
"There is a new version of WPBakery Visual Composer available."
Purchase for $34
Re LayerSlider WP, I guess it's not uncommon to have to pay an extra license fee to get access to future upgrades. But, with the WPBakery Visual Composer, it appears that the included version of this plugin was already outdated when we bought the Be Theme package. Can you advise us?
Thanks again! We look forward to working with your theme layouts!

purchase codes (license keys) are not included for plugins which are bundled into 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. If you want, you can read more details about this on Envato forum:

The information you mentioned above, always appear because there is always few % of people who are buying external licenses for plugins. But of course it's unnecessary to buy them because full versions of those plugins are included. You can get them only if you want to get the support from plugin's author.
In accordance to LayerSlider we may forgot to update this plugin as maybe 0,1% of our customers are using this plugin. Nearly all users are using Revolution Slider plugin instead which is much better.
Thanks!
