Transitioning from test version of Trados Studio 2024 to full activation after purchase

I have now purchased Trados Studio 2024 18.0.0.1013 freelance perpetual and transferred the payment sum of € 745 to the SDL bank account on Wednesday this week. 

I was expecting that I would now be able to see this newly purchased Trados Studio version listed on my account, with a new activation code that I could enter when opening the test version that I have been using for the past 3+ weeks - this test version would then be activated for an indefinite period of time. The trial period for this test version expires in 2 days, so there is a certain urgency about this matter. 

Will I simply have to wait a bit longer for the payment to be registered at SDL and the green light to be given, or is there something about this process that I have not understood correctly?

Many thanks in advance for your support.
