I’m sure I’m missing something obvious…

I bought Elements a while ago, have been using it without problem.

I had to reinitialize my computer (long story) and so had to reinstall Elements. I was able to log in using my account, but it is showing as under a trial license. I have the key, but can’t see where to enter it. In the Subscription tab, it just gives me me a “Buy Now” button which goes to the main web site.

Any ideas? I’m obviously missing something simple.
