If you cancel your subscription, it will remain active for the already covered period. If you don't renew your subscription and let it expire, you'll lose access to everything that requires a license: product updates, premium templates, exclusive features, Add-Ons, and customer support.

We will notify you about upcoming renewals a week in advance. Even if your subscriptions couldn't automatically be renewed, you will have a grace period to sort out technical issues to keep your subscription.

Subscriptions receive product updates as long as they remain active.

For one-time purchases, we offer lifetime updates. It means that all future releases of LayerSlider will be available to you free of charge, including major version updates.

You can use LayerSlider on as many sites as your licenses allow. A Personal license can be used for a single website only, while the Professional license can be used for multiple sites depending on your selection. You can purchase additional licenses for more websites.

Your licenses cover additional development mirrors as well. Please refer to the next question to learn more.

Sure! Development installation are counted differently than live production sites. You can use LayerSlider on 3 additional development installations per site covered by your license.

So, a Personal license gives you 3 additional development mirrors, while a Professional license covering 5 sites can be used for up to 15 development mirrors.

Development installations are identified by whitelisted domains.

Your license is not bound to a domain name. Domain aliases can be used if they are pointing to the same site.

“Sub-sites” that are very closely related to each other and generally have the same content and appearance are considered a single site.

If subdomains or WordPress Multisite sites are used for localization or special landing pages within the same site, then it is covered by your license. In other cases you need to purchase additional licenses.

As mentioned above, your licenses also cover additional installations in case of a development environment.

Of course. You can simply deactivate a license on a site and activate it on another. See the details in the documentation.

You can also manage your activated sites by logging in to Your Account page. See the details under the Licenses & Sites menu.

WordPress theme authors may include LayerSlider in their work, however, there are some differences between the bundled and licensed versions. Since we don’t receive any share after their sales some premium features and content are available only for our direct buyers. Releasing updates and handling support also the responsibility of the theme author. For more information, please refer to this article.

Re-selling or re-distributing the plugin files in any way is strictly prohibited. However, we offer an In-Stock license for theme authors, so they can include LayerSlider in their work. For more information, please visit our In-Stock Usage page.

You can find the full license terms on this page.

Our support staff is at your service to answer any product-related questions. We also attempt to assist with 3rd party integration or compatibility issues. We are dedicated to fixing known issues by regularly releasing updates. Please review our Support Policy for more information.

Subscriptions receive full support coverage for the entire time while the subscription remains active.

One-time purchases receive 6 months of included support time that can be extended to a full year at a discounted price.

Purchase a subscription-based license to receive access to our Support Portal. You'll have access to customer support as long as you have at least one active subscription.

Why a subscription-based license instead of a support extension option? We're phasing out support extensions in favor of subscriptions since they roughly costs the same (or even cheaper) while they offer much more value like the ability to use LayerSlider on additional sites without paying extra.

No, support time is not linked to individual copies of the product or the websites where you use them. We provide customer support if you have at least one active subscription or a lifetime license with an active support period.

Support period never expires for subscriptions, unless you cancel the subscription itself. In that case you'll lose access to everything that requires a license: product updates, premium templates, exclusive features, Add-Ons, and customer support.

For one-time purchases, you won’t be able to open new support tickets. Everything else remains the same. You will receive plugin updates and have access to any new feature or content made available.

Try these before reporting an issue:

• Make sure that you’re using the latest version of LayerSlider. Also, check if there’s an update for your theme or your plugins.
• Check the documentation, we have troubleshooting options in each section, and a list of common issues and their solutions.
• Searching in public tickets can be very useful as your question might have already been answered in a past case.

We often ask our customers to test compatibility on their site, as in many cases a 3rd party plugin or the theme can cause issues, especially regarding appearance. Hopefully, there is an easy and quick way to do it.

By temporarily disabling every other plugin (except ours) and switching to the default WP theme you can immediately rule out any chance of incompatibility. If this does not help, the issue you’re experiencing is likely not related to other plugins/themes. However, if it does help, you certainly ran into a compatibility issue. In that case, you can find out what’s causing the trouble by re-enabling your plugins one at a time and watching when the issue returns.

If you’ve successfully identified the troublesome item on your site, make sure to share your findings with us, as it can be extremely helpful to fully understand the situation you’re in and provide advice and workaround to solve the issue you experience.

It’s in the confirmation email sent upon purchasing LayerSlider. Please refer to the documentation for more information, or check the next question if you want to recover a lost license key.

Just log in to Your Account page with the same email address that you’ve used for checkout and all your licenses will be listed under the Licenses & Sites menu.

If you’ve purchased LayerSlider previously on CodeCanyon (Envato Market), you can import your licenses with the Import Envato Licenses button, or you can also log in to CodeCanyon profile and see licenses under the Downloads page.
