Purchased FCP after trial. Libary loads, but missing associated Project

Hello-

I was working on FCP 90-day trial OSX version.

I then bought the full OSX FCP program and downloaded it via the app store. (I saw no way to just register the trial version I was using...)

On the new purchased version, I was able to open my library by finding it on the local HD in "movies" and see the clips in the browser, but the actual "project" in the timeline is missing.

All media files remain in same place as when I used the trial version- an external SSD.

How do I "import" the project or otherwise get FCP to find it? I want to leave all files on the SSD, but want to get my project back!

Thanks!

What was the project called? Select the library and look in the projects smart collection. How long was the project? Are there any clips with the same length?
