Do I need to renew my license if I only wish to purchase a branding free?

I want to purchase the branding free, but do I need to renew my license? When removing the branding, will I need to upload new files or is there a method to removing it via the styles?

Hello,

You don't need to purchase a renewal to get a Branding Free key: http://www.vbseo.com/purchase/buy-vbseo-options.html

No files need to be updated. You only will need to delete your current license key and will have to save a new one that helps you get rid of the vBSEO copyright notice. To do so, try to refresh the vBSEO CP a few times so it can pick up a new valid key.
