Lost my Swype keyboard after Nougat update

[AC Question]

I use the Swype keyboard. I just downloaded the Nougat update on my phone(don't like it), now I am being prompted to BUY Swype, when it was already on my phone, how do I get my Swype keyboard back without purchasing it? I shouldn't have to purchase something I already had on my phone, I want my Swype back, with all the saved stuff it already had programmed(common phrases I used including words I typed in Spanish)...

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Are you saying that Swype was preinstalled on your phone before the Nougat update, or that you had already purchased and installed the full Swype app before?
