What WD device do you have?

When I updated mine the last time I did not have any problems, my SmartWare still shows as pro. All I remember doing is entering my activation code.

I have a My Cloud, 1st generation, 4TB.

Maybe this will help. Error

Are you able to provide an image of what you are seeing, that may help?

I have a wd mycloud. I do not recall getting an activation code

Did you have SmartWare Pro before, if not you should be able to just start using SmartWare. Ignore the request that you buy it since it is no longer available.

This image comes from the Help tab in SmartWare, you should be able to Close the request to purchase Pro.
