I was hired to migrate an old website to a new and updated server. The site was using the Master Studio Child Theme 1.1, but I can’t find the license Key so I’m not able to update the theme.
I’m ok with paying for the license again, but I need to be sure that it will be enough to update the theme in the new site.
At first thing always should to purchase item from the client (website owner) own envato account. So that they will be able to update the theme regularly.
Secondly if your client purchase the theme again and the theme has updated version then they or you as developer can update the theme.
You can use Envato Market WordPress Plugin to get auto update features. This plugin helps customers receive updates to their premium wordpress Themes & Plugins purchased through Envato Market (ThemeForest & CodeCanyon).
you can download the plugin from here:
Using this Envato Market WordPress Plugin you will see:

otherwise you can download the update version from Envato Market Downloads page and update manually using ftp.
Note: Better to keep a full backup before doing the update.
