Trial to full version

I updated from trial to full version of FCPX. All files, libraries, downloads, features, customization are gone. Does anyone have a suggestion where they are or how I can get them? When I try to open the trial it closes unless i click buy. Thanks!

LogicPro - upgrading from Trial to Full version - will I lose projects? Hi, I've been using the Trial version of LogicPro on my new Mac mini (first Apple pc ever). I am about to purchase the full version but I am unsure about what will happen to my created project files. The programme has just told me to DELETE the Trial before I can (pay for) and download the Full version. I'm unsure about what to do. Am I about to also delete all of the projects and ruin/lose a couple of months' work! Can somebody please advise/assist? Thanks. PS I have 24 hours to sort this (aargh!)

I have the full version of FCP but get "The operation couldn’t be completed. One or more of the libraries were created with a newer version of Final Cut Pro Trial. These libraries will be ignored." "The operation couldn’t be completed. One or more of the libraries were created with a newer version of Final Cut Pro Trial. These libraries will be ignored." Just received this message today. I was just using FCP last night, but today the project I was working on wont open. Ive had the full version of FCP for ages now. I click OK then it says Final Cut Pro Trial has expired and offers me the option to buy, if I click buy it takes me to the app store and Ive already purchased. Can anyone help? Thanks version 10.6.4 big sur 11.5.2

The libraries are wherever you stored them with whatever name. Do a Finder search. The trial and paid version are two separate applications. You can delete the trial version if you downloaded the other from the App Store.

When you find the library just double click it. It will open the paid version.
