Solution

  • You would use the Professional Upgrade package. You just overwrite your current Community web folders with the upgrade package. Hit the site with a browser and enter www.domainname.com/install/install.aspx?mode=upgrade

    You may also need to run this URL: www.domainname.com/install/install.aspx?mode=installresources

    Make sure you put the correct DOMAIN URL at the front!!!

    Once you have upgrade click "Go to your Site" at the bottom of the installation page Log in Under Host --> Professional Services you will see "Activate Your License". Go to that module and you enter your License key and email address and activate your Professional Edition.

    You paid for Professional Edition which entitles you to paid support. If anything above is unclear please contact DotNetNuke Support, you should have contact information, email and phone #, in an email from when you purchased your Professional License.
