This will also install the 3 Frontend-User-Access plugins (system, content and user)
If you get an install error, there is probably a right issue with the files and folders. In that case, try installing with the FTP-layer enabled.
If the component installs well, but not the 3 plugins, you can install those seperately.
If you are updating from free- to trial-version, or trial- to pro-version, just install the new version over the old version.
All configuration and settings will remain in the database.
