  If you wish to purchase a premium theme it is a one time upgrade that stand alone. No bundle of upgrades are required to use it on any wordpress.COM hosted site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/premium-themes/

  However you cannot use Divi on any wordpress.COM site as it is not found here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sort/premium/ It is a third party theme you cannot use on any wordpress.Com site.

  There is no FTP access to any wordpress.com sites. The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
  upload any third party themes,
  create child themes,
  create our own themes,
  edit templates,
  create own own layouts,
  or use stylesheets from other themes.

  See:
  Themes »Uploading Custom Themes
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  WordPress.com sites have some built in plugins http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/. However, if you are reading anything that makes you think that we bloggers can install plugins, advertising, custom themes or third party themes on sites hosted by wordpress.COM, then you are mistaken/misinformed. We have never had that ability. You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs on paid hosting.

  Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.
