Please take a backup of your theme folder before you update so that if there are any changes made to the theme files they are not lost.
You can update your theme by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new.
It's recommended that you use FTP, but this also can be done with the WP dashboard if you prefer. The reason FTP is superior for this is because the theme won't have to be deactivated during the process so you won't have to reassign your widgets. If you're
interested in keeping up to date with the latest changes and fixes, please refer to the changelog: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
Also, remember to clear your browser cache after each update if you notice anything off. Old theme files can persist in your local cache and make you think something's wrong.

Hello, I would know if theme updates are for free?
I bought the theme on may (4.1) and I'm having problems showing markers on google maps element.
I saw the issue has been fixed from version 4.5.21/22.
What can I do?
Can you help me with that?
I'm asking the same questions, on an older version of 3.0.5

Thanks a lot for the detailed instructions which make sense.
But there's no update/download link in Downloads Section in my account , because I'm on a much older version??
Could I still upgrade to V5.0 for free or for a less charge? Otherwise do I have to buy again?
Cheers
Hey Glen!
If you download from there you will get the latest version and then update the theme.
Thanks

Do I have to pay for the updated version?
Amanda, no you don't. All updates are free.
My question is, is version 5.0 compatible with Wordpress 4.1?
Thanks,
Scott
Found it and updated. Works great!
Thanks for the help
