Hi ridesabike2,
The s2member-pro addon cannot be installed through the WordPress Admin.
You'll need to download the s2member-pro.zip file to your computer, extract it, and then upload the s2member-pro folder to your wp-content/plugins/ directory manually via FTP.
Simply uploading the folder and refreshing the WP Admin is enough for the s2Member plugin (the free plugin) to detect that you've added the Pro module.
When you upgrade s2Member in the future, the plugin will detect that you have the Pro add-on installed and it will ask for your s2member.com username/password so that it can automatically upgrade the Pro add-on for you (that way you don't have to go through this process each time you upgrade).
The Pro add-on uses an upgrade process built into the s2Member free plugin. The Pro add-on doesn't use the WordPress Plugin Upgrade functionality like the free part of the plugin does.
Does that make sense?
