According to the latest policy set by Envato, customer support is time sensitive. That means six months of customer support is included in your purchase of any of the Artbees themes from Envato, and Artbees is committed to offering full customer service during this period. After the initial six months, in order to continue using Artbees Support you need to renew your support subscription.

For more information, read the Purchasing supported items article from Envato.

Multiple licenses

If you have purchased multiple licenses for one theme, only your last purchase date will be counted so you do not have to renew the support subscription for older licenses. Make sure to always add your latest purchase code in the Artbees portal.

VIP support

If you are a verified customer of Artbees Themes and you have registered 10 or more licenses of any of our themes you will enjoy lifetime support regardless of your support subscription status. VIPs will enjoy a much faster ticket response, as well as many more premium features that will be released one by one in the future. Previous VIP members who had 5+ licenses registered before 1st May 2019 will still be considered as VIP members.

Chat support

VIPs will have access to the chat support from their Artbees Portal dashboard.
