<p>Ah, I figured it out. My plugin's old license key wasn't long enough to satisfy the key input. This box is expecting a license in the exact format it shows - with 6 sets of 4 numbers (my old key only had 5 sets). Once you've input that many numbers the button changes. </p>

<p>I scoured my plugin's documentation and found that I need to request a Craft3 compatible key. </p>

<p>Dumb question, but...</p>

<p>I purchased a plugin when using Craft 2 and now I'm trying to input the license for it in Craft 3. There's an input for the license key when I go to settings -> plugins, but the submit for it says "buy now" and tries to put the plugin in my cart. How do I give Craft 3 the license?</p>
