Do I need to license images?

If you plan on swapping out all the images that come with your template and replacing them with your own, then you don't! However, if you intend on publishing your site with the images used in the template, you will need to make sure they are free to use or purchase a license if they require one. You can see if your template requires an image license in the Image License Directory.
