Hi Alex,
Thanks for reaching out.
Moreover, you didn’t need to buy or activate a license for the WPBakery plugin. Because the WPBakery is a required plugin to run the theme and without the WPBakery plugin, the theme shortcodes will not work. That’s why we already included the plugin with our theme.
In this issue, you just need to install the plugin with other required plugins and activate them. When the WPBakery plugin need to update then we will provide an update of our theme to update the WPBakery plugin.
Best Regards,
ThemeLooks Support Team
