No VST option?

Back on Aug 13, 2020 I purchased an audio/video bundle of MAGIX Products from Humble Bundle.
As part of this package a copy of Music Maker 4 was included.
I am now working on my first project and I am trying to add some 3rd party VST files but have no option to do so.

I fear that a FREE version of the program was installed and not the full version, which I paid for.
I started by checking the forums, and it looks like I need to install some kind of "creative Suite"...and found the following instructions, however I can NOT find the listed "More features" that I am supposed to click on referenced in Step#2. The only thing I see after logging in is a prompt to enter a Serial number for Music Maker 2021.

1) In Music Maker, click the "Log in to Store" button in the upper right-hand corner and sign in to your account.
2) In the Store, go to "More features" and activate the "Creative Suite" package.
3) Then, to add your external VST plugins to Music Maker, open the program settings ("P" key) and go to the "Folders" tab.

Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Very much,
BoB

PS: If it matters, I am running a 64bit version of Windows 10, and a 64 bit music maker.

It's now a separate item called VST Support.

Welcome to the Magix user to user forums.

I am somewhat confused by your post! You say you purchased this bundle in August 202 which included Music Maker 4. There is no such program so what, exactly, did you buy? Please check your installed version, under Help>about, and tell us the exact version number shown there.

When you purchased this bundle did the purchase include a serial key for MM, either Plus or Premium and did you enter that serial key on the MM Activation screen and register the program at Magix com? Inputting the serial key and registering would automatically upgrade the Free version to whichever of the paid-for variants, Plus or Premium, the serial was for. I can't remember about the Plus version but the Premium one automatically includes the facility to add VST folders.
