Default Pro Tools 10 Trial to Pro Tools 10 Full Version - Installation Problem

Box Set
I recently downloaded the PT 10 Trial version and have since decided to take the plunge and purchase full version box set. When the disks arrived in the mail, I expected that when I looked at "Your Products" Avid web page, I would see the new PT 10 product listed and a new activation code (listed somewhere) - but neither PT 10 product (included with my other products) nor code was there.

Product Registration Card
I then expected that with the new disks and the included "Product Registration Information Card" I could use the Registration ID to unlock my Trial Version and just keep going. However, I was not clever enough to figure out how to do this.

Un-install Trial PT10
SO, I un-installed the trial version, and attempted to re-install Pro Tools 10 from the disks. This is where I ran into the unexpected problem that my install files won't install. after double clicking

"Install Pro Tools.mpkg"

the installation hangs in a terminal window (sim to DOS prompt Window)

The name of the window is

Install Pro Tools.mpkg -- Bash -- 80 x24

and the text reads:

<Computer-name>:Install Pro Tools.mpkg <home-user>$

But nothing happens. I'm new to Macs, and the description of may provide an obvious clue to the Mac Adept.

PROBLEM: PT 10 will not install from disks

IN SUMMARY

1) PT Trial has been un-installed
2) I was able to connect the included PT 10 iLok (that came with boxed set) to my iLok account at the iLok site

3) PT installation file Install Pro Tools.mpkg has no effect on my system.

QUESTION:

Short of downloading another trial-verision of PT10, does anyone have another suggestion of how to get the full version working as installed from the disks?

thanks, Janos
