Upgraded for DS4 Pro to (I thought) DS4.5 Pro... On a Intel MAC... a few questions...

Previously I had installed 4.0.3.47...
I just installed ONLY "DAZ Studio 4 Pro - DAZ Studio 4.5.x 64-bit - zip - mac".... is that all I need to upgrade, or do I have to upgrade all the other plugins that are included when I reset the order? I ask this because the "welcome page" that opens upon installation, suggests that I should upgrade to Pro... I thought what I just installed was "PRO"?
Is there no actual manual anymore (all I see is the quick start guide) ?
I realize these are probably questions that were addressed months ago, but I really don't hang out here so much any more and hardly use Studio anymore ( I have become more of a Poser user now), mainly I just use DS to check that my freebies work in it.
Sorry to rehash old questions and thank for any answers.

In this case "upgrade to Pro" means use the 4.5 Pro serial number which will permanently unlock the Pro-version plugins. The installer is the same, the only difference is the serial number you use. If you don't use the Pro serial number, you'll only have the Pro features for 30 days.
One big change you might have missed is the included content. This is now in a separate installer, "Genesis Essentials". And many of the plugins which were separate installers are now included in the main program download — check to see what's there before downloading and trying to install any plugins.
Thanks SpottedKitty!
I assume the serial number I used for 4.0 is the same or is there a new one required?
EDITED TO ADD... I just Registered it using the old 4.0 serial number... It did not confirm or deny anything... after I entered/submitted it the window just closed ( most programs I use usually acknowledge that you submitted a correct password or tell you you have made a mistake).
Maybe I'll get an email confirmation?
If the one you have doesn't work, check your My Serial Numbers page in your account to see if there's a new one for D|S4 Pro. I think I remember when the free Pro version was released it needed a separate number.
Note that the new store defaults to only showing 10 items on a page. If you have more than 10 serial numbers, click the drop-down box at the top of the list and select 20 or 50 to see everything all at once.
Just noticed your edit. In D|S, check Help>About Installed Plugins and see if any of them still have a "Register" button showing. If the number you used worked, it should have unlocked everything.
