    You can´t use these keys on ProWMC they are for Pro, you´ll need your own WMC Key.

    Did you try a WMC key, as you´ll still need one after the upgrade?

    I can enter key after choosing "I" from the menu , however it just gives the error I posted earlier when I run it. Do you think I should revert back to just Pro, or do you think it could activate with both installed??
