Sib 8.3 won't deactivate so i can upgrade to ultimate

I bought the Ultimate Sibelius for 1 year. Went to Avid link and activated Ultimate before I deactivated Sib 8.3
How do I "back out" and do this upgrade in the right order?
Thank you!

Also I saw a review on Sweetwater re a Sib purchase, thanking them for helping them get activated and back up and running. Then yet another complaint re: Avid, saying they couldn't get them to respond...Thank goodness for Sweetwater etc.
FYI.

https://www.trustpilot.com/review/avid.com Checkout the reviews on Trustpilot re: Avid. Unhappy frustrated people! I got to wondering how Avid's support was and so I decided to google it. I also stopped by my local Guitar Center who I've done business w for years to see what they could tell me about...

Isn't it also true that Sibelius COULD offer tech support/upgrades @ reasonable rates rather than to ONLY offer people support if they forfeit their perpetual ownership for a not so cheap open-ended mo. subscription. I've used mine for 20+ years-but now I can't. Sad.

Its worth knowing what's going on though.

Sibelius 8.7 won't update from 8.3 on MacBook Pro, big Sur 11.5.2

I too am trying avoid the apparent "one pricey option" of forfeiting my Sib ownership in return for an upgrade and tech support. I write mainly piano pieces and worksheets for students, but Sibelius 8.3 is "acting up" and not functioning as it used to, and now I can't successfully update to 8.7.2. A...

no sound on note entry only.

Help!! Audio is great on all counts as far as I can tell, but no sound on note entry only. However Post entry, I can click the new note just entered and it sounds. I get sound when I enter notes from keyboard, but not the mouse and keypad!! And once the note is in, I can enter intervals harmonically...
