So quick explanation: the website that our client transferred to our hosting is running salient 12.1.3 and running the child theme. Now i want to make the website as up to date as possible so i bought a new license of salient but i dont know what is the best way to update from 12.1.3 including the child theme. I dont know what will happen when just updating some of the plugins havent been updated aswell since that time.
Do you have any advice? Maybe the style.css sheet from child theme 12.1.3 original so i can see what codes have been added.
The current version of the theme is 16.0.5 and the current version of the page builder is 6.13. Salient versions older than v11 won't be compatible with WordPress 5.5.
Here's the documentation on the available methods for updating Salient: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/#methods Once you've updated that, the update for the included page builder will become available. Note that "Visual Composer" also renamed their plugin on Envato to "WPbakery page builder" a couple of years back.
I just updated the salient theme from v12 to v16. Now the only thing left to do is to transfer the stylesheet. How is this best possible or is this even needed at all?
There is no need for it if the website appears correctly on your end. Try adjusting the Salient Theme Options instead to adjust and settings as per your needs.

Hey Andrew,
I just updated the salient theme from v12 to v16. Now the only thing left to do is to transfer the stylesheet. How is this best possible or is this even needed at all?
Thank you
