    I have been using the test version --- which is installed and works fine.

    I'm hoping I can (on my own test machine before installing it LIVE on my real server):

    1 - get rid of the old amember test folder (except for maybe config.inc.php which contains path to SQL db etc)
    2 - install the new PRO (non test) version


    but, when I try to use it, it complains about the LICENSE KEY.

    I have that from the amember site.. but I can find nothing that tells me what to do with it... when I try to run the fixlicense.php --- I get a garbled screen with an input box which contains $lic ... a SET button.... and php code (which doesn't seem right):


    Is it documented somewhere that I haven't found exactly what I'm supposed to do with this LICENSE KEY???

    any help appreciated.

    1. Please download aMember Pro from https://www.amember.com/amember.php
    2. Please overwrite all files with Pro version. It is necessary to replace all files. Not-replaced trial files will expire soon. You may keep templates folder unchanged if you have customized templates. All database info and settings keeps in place after upgrade.
    3. Use this tool : http://www.amember.com//downloads/fixlicense.zip (according to readme) to set new license key. You can copy&paste license key from here: http://www.amember.com/amember/member.php
    4. If version have been changed between your trial and Pro installation (for example you had 3.0.0 trial installed, but after order you downloaded version 3.0.2), you also need to run upgrade script to update database structure: http://www.yoursite.com/amember/admin/upgrade_db.php
