Existing Blocks When Upgrading from 5.6 to 5.7
Permalink
I have searched through the forums and other documentation and can't seem to find my answer. I have a couple of websites that I am preparing to upgrade from 5.6x to 5.7+ and these websites have blocks on them that I paid for. Many of the blocks have been upgraded to be compatible with 5.7, but when I go into my concrete5.org user account to go look for the code that I should install for the 5.7 website, I can't find it.
Do I have to pay for the new version of these same blocks? I hope not.

Unfortunately yes, you will most likely have to either purchase these again or upgrade them yourself. You could also PM the developers and see if they would be willing to gift you license since you are upgrading.
If you come from 5.6, it's a tough job to "just upgrade to 5.7". There are some migration processes, but you will have to install from scratch though. And the migration doesn't take care of everything. So depending on the site, it may sometimes be more efficient to start completely over instead of trying to migrate.
