Installing paid version of BBM

I installed a trial version of BBM to the MBR of my first hard disk. It worked perfectly. Congratulations for such a great product. So I bought the regular version of BBM, downloaded the installation files, and received my license key.

I was not able to find any infomation of how I change from the trial version to the paid version ( maybe I missed it in the documentation ). So how do i do this ? Do I need to install the paid version, upgrading the current trial version or is there some way to tell the trial version my license key so that I can use it as the paid version ?

Boot from the new CD and you will see an Upgrade option. Easy.

IIRC, you will need to create a new CD/USB stick with the paid
version. At some point you will be asked for the registered name and
the licence key. When done, boot with it and upgrade/reinstall.
