I got this plugin with WordPress. Do I have to pay for it to use it? I have slider that was made with Slider Revolution and need to change it. It doesnt seem to do much other then ask for an activation code.
Hi, you can use the free version (when it came with a theme) but certain features need the pro version. Here is an overview: https://www.sliderrevolution.com/premium-slider-revolution/
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to let me know.

Hi, Thank you for the information. I am interested in buying a license of slider revolution for 1 website and I have 2 questions:
1)
I am currently using a free version of slider revolution (version 6.4.4) that came with my theme. I recently updated my theme (to Impreza version 8.17.4) and since the update, the revolution slider loads A LOT slower. Will it load faster again once I buy the license and can update to the latest version of Slider Revolution?
2)
I would need to also use the license on my staging site – it is, however, not in a localhost environment but on a live server as a subdomain (URL: https://staging.mywebsite.com). Will a one website license work on both my live site (URL: https://mywebsite.com) and my staging site?
Thank you.
Julia
Hello Julia,
Thank you for reaching out and showing interest in Slider Revolution.
Performance Issue:
The issue you’re experiencing with the loading speed might be due to multiple factors. One significant benefit of purchasing a license and updating to the latest version of Slider Revolution is that you get access to all the latest performance improvements and optimizations we’ve made since version 6.4.4. While I can’t guarantee that the speed will be instantly better, updating to the latest version ensures that you are getting the best possible version of our software. Additionally, after updating, if you still encounter speed issues, our support team would be more than happy to help you pinpoint and resolve any potential bottlenecks.
Licensing for Staging:
We understand the importance of staging environments in website development. Yes, with a one website license, you can use Slider Revolution on both your live site and its corresponding staging site. Our licensing system is flexible and recognizes staging environments, including subdomains like the one you mentioned.
Should you decide to proceed with the purchase, you’ll also get access to our dedicated support team for any further questions or issues you might encounter.
Thank you for considering Slider Revolution. We hope to have you as part of our community soon!
Warm regards,
Dirk @ Slider Revolution
Hello again, Concerning my 1st question: the slow loading time of slider revolution had to do with WP Rocket and I was able to fix it with these instructions: https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/1634-using-revolution-slider-with-wp-rocket . Can you help me with my 2nd question though (whether I can use the same one-website-license of SR on my live site and my staging site (which is on a subdomain of my live site)? Many thanks, Julia

Hi, I have the version that came with a theme. I recently experienced some issues where I am unable to add or change images as the button for Media Library is no longer showing up. Does this mean I need to get the licensed version?
