Did I miss something: I just purchased the CMS Pro $99 option and don’t see it showing up in purchases. I only see the original CMS components. Is CMS Pro only compatible with Elements 3? If not, where is it located or is there a separate download?

Hi @DWB

To activate the license key, yes you would need Elements 3.0 or above. Instructions on how to update are [here](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/elements-3-0-7-beta-now-available/57220#p-255260-how-to-update-to-the-beta-3).

I am not sure you will see it in purchases. You will be only asked to enter the license after uploading web page to the server and after opening the Online Editor - then all the features will become available. At least thats how I understand it . . is my assumption correct @differentdan?

That all makes sense.
