HI Nathan,
As I said in my earlier answer to you the Steam version is a different product to the Laminar Research official x-plane version.
Steam is not sold by Laminar Research therefor cannot be swapped.. If you want to run with or switch to the Laminar Research version then you will have to purchase the product.
Again refer to my earlier comments at https://questions.x-plane.com/24092/simulator-on-steam-and-on-the-official-website-the-same
