SQL Data Compare 6 doesn't show backups

Hello all,
First the excuses since I believe this is likely just me being a real Homer Simpson.
I am not only new to this forum, but new to red-gate tools. I only activated my copies of SQL Compare 6, SQL Data Compare 6, SQL Backup 5, and SQL Dependency Tracker 2 this morning. Okay, enough excuses.
I have setup SQL Backups across several servers and run the jobs successfully so I have what I believe are valid red-gate backups. When I run SQL Data Compare 6 and ccreate a new comparison project, I select 'backup' as my data source, and the 'files' box and associated elipsis (...) button are greyed out so I access them. So, what am I doing wrong?

My guess is that you've activated SQL Data Compare with a standard license. Compare to backup is a pro license only feature.
Hope this helps
