Essentials WordPress Theme By PixFort has noticed some scam activities to force buy additional licenses. At any time they will ask to buy additional licenses for the staging websites, you worked on years ago.
Staging websites are the website where you start redesigning or developing a new website. So for One website, they will ask to purchase two licenses. If your staging websites have more than one, then they ask you to purchase more licenses.
Essentials Theme Case Study 1
My case study was that I developed a website two years back for one of my clients. The client was moved from us about one year ago. Now client changed their domain name- So the Support Team of Essentials theme is asking to purchase the additional license, while one license has already been purchased and used. As per Envato guidelines change of domain will considered as the same project and does not require an additional license, But they forcing to buy an additional license. As the client already moved years ago – I do not own his domain and website, but they forcing me to buy an additional license. on denying to buy a license, my Envato account is locked out. They have their own theory of licenses
