Would you kindly be able to point me in the right direction? The Update button only gives me a pop-up directing me to these forums for help.

Sure. We’ll tell you when we get past version 3.1.30, one day. Right now, Windows users are on version 3.1.6.

I can only blame an ineffective pinky click on that last period denoting a 30 versus a 3.0 . However my problem is solved by the much more helpful comment to simply download the most up to date version and reinstall from it. Both my concerns of losing the license or having to find my rather old key proved unfounded. A rather real fear having already once found the need to repurchase Scrivener due to upgrade inflation. Truly I was pleased that even my older projects stood through this latest upgrade that was many years beyond expectations. Thank you Scrivener and the kind recommendation to solve my dilemma. Now back to work..
