upgrade to Pro - upgrade existing community ed

[levian71]

Hi,
i decided to upgrade to the pro version. As i understood the first step is to upgrade my existing version to the latest.
Here is what i did:

1) Created a full clone of my live machine.
2) tried to update/upgrade as per procedure:

After reboot i checked my space and it looked much better:

root@eve-ng:~# df -h

tmpfs 2.4G 18M 2.4G 1% /run

/dev/sda1 472M 78M 370M 18% /boot

i repeated the upgrade and this time it seemed worked. However i still seem to have the old version installed.

I would like to avoid to install a brand new Pro version, because that would mean that i need to install/create all my images, labs,etc.
I really like to upgrade from my existing Community Edition to the Pro.

Does someone have an idea ?

Thanks,
Oliver
