Answers Pro is the premium edition for Answers. It is an add-on that requires the free Answers plugin installed and active; it is distributed through Freemius (licensing, activation and automatic updates), not the WordPress.org directory.
Answers Pro extends the free product FAQ accordion. It does not work on its own. If the free plugin is missing, deactivated, or older than the required version, Answers Pro stays dormant and shows an admin notice instead of booting.
