Hi, I haven’t got any answer yet and there is an update available for the plugin.
Well I am a customer like you not affiliated with Tagdiv, and I had the same question.
Here’s the lowdown:

The short of it: you can use the plugin without access to premium features such as downloading templates from the Revolution Slider site, or auto updates (you can update the plugin via uploading the plugin files that are included with each Newspaper update).
You will have to either use the limited sliders that come with the plugins, create your own, or upload the five or so in the demo_sliders folder from the Newspaper .zip file.
Hello,
Revolution slider as well as visual composer are free versions that cannot be and do not have to be activated. You have full access to the plugin features without activation. Here is a section of the documentation that specifies this for the visual composer plugin. It applies to rev slider as well: http://screencast.com/t/605PU1gmRp
Sorry for the inconvenience but the activation message was added by the plugin authors but they did not create any special condition in the code for free bundled versions of the plugin.
Thank you!
