# 2. How To Install Plugins Included

***

The theme included two licensing plugins: **Revolution Slider**, we purchased them from codecanyone.net and included them for free in the theme without any issues. However, if you want automatic updates and support from the plugin developer you need to purchase it separately (this is 100% optional). Some plugins include a field to enter your “purchase” code for the plugin. Because we are not allowed to include the license key for each of them, so you do NOT have a purchase code for that plugin and you can’t enter anything in this field. If there is any update, we are accountable for updating the theme with the newest version of plugins.

After installing the Restimo theme, you’ll see a notification on the top of the page that says the theme needs some plugins to function properly.
