Along with what Andrew says, you have a lot more flexibility by upgrading to Logic Pro X (GB is a subset of LPX). This adds the ability to work with the plugin and MusicXML import/export and will also open all your GB files.

You pay the $ and Apple emails you 5 product codes. Enter those codes one at a time while logged into the App Store and the apps download already registered to you. Unused codes can be emailed to others.
