Subject: License Expiry Issue with Free Spotlight Theme on Starter Package

Technical Q&A
1

Hi Shopify Support,

I’m using the Starter package ($5/month) with the default Spotlight theme. Despite not making any changes to my account, I received a license expiry email.

Upon investigation, I found an update available in the theme section, which I’ve now installed. Could the outdated version have triggered the license expiry notice?

My question: Do I need to purchase a license for the free Spotlight theme included with the Starter package?

Thank you for clarifying.

Best regards,

[Ahmad]

Hey Ahman,

To my knowledge, you shouldn’t need to purchase anything for a free theme. I recommend reaching out directly to Shopify support (they are very helpful) to confirm, as the email you received may have been spam, or you may have set something up incorrectly. It’s best to get it sorted out properly.
