How to upgrade from Adobe Acrobat Standard 2017 to Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017?

Question

I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Standard 2017. I wanted more features, so I downloaded the upgrade for Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017. When I downloaded the upgrade, it downloaded to my desktop. Unfortunately, when I try to open Adobe now, it doesn't have the new features from Pro. Did I download it incorrectly or do I have to merge the two together somehow? Do I have to delete the Standard in order to get Pro? I really have no idea at this point.
