I just reinstalled WD SmartWare o my new HDD. It is asking my to upgrade and pay for SmartWare Pro. I have never had to purchase the software before How do I go about this?

What WD device do you have?
When I updated mine the last time I did not have any problems, my SmartWare still shows as pro. All I remember doing is entering my activation code.
I have a My Cloud, 1st generation, 4TB.
Maybe this will help. Error
Are you able to provide an image of what you are seeing, that may help?
I have a wd mycloud. I do not recall getting an activation code
