I just attempted renew (reactivate?) my solidworks 2018-2019 (photo1) The dialog box after running the activation wizard said succeeded, but then another box comes up and says the student edition will expire in 3 days (photo 3). I went to www.solidworks.com/ (http://www.solidworks.com/)goEDU and there is a description of install procedure here, but it looks like I will need another license key to do that:

I was speaking with one of the guys at the solidworks booth and he said we were getting the premium student edition this time around. Its not clear to me if we now need to uninstall and reinstall to get the premium edition, if the upgrade will occur automatically when reactivating, or if I have actually REALLY reactivated the base version, (or which version) because I'm still getting the "this student edition will expire in 3 days" dialog box...the "reactivation" didn't really seem to do anything, and the version still shows solidworks student edition academic year 2018-2019 (photo 2)
Please advise
thanks
