How to upgrade Dictionary app on macOS Sequoia 15.6.1?

Recently my Dictionary app appears this message: "50% of definitions in the trial are blurred. Upgrade to the full version of Dictionaries to see this definition." But I can't find the way to upgrade the app. My MacOS vers is Sequoia 15.6.1.

Anyone have the same issue? How to fix it? Thanks.

This is an issue with a 3rd party extension you have installed, not a macOS issue. The macOS system dictionary app looks like this, without the extra tabs you are seeing:



I believe that you have the "Dictionaries for Mac" extension installed, and you are being prompted to pay to unlock the full features of the app (i.e., you need to buy a license using that link to 'upgrade').
