I would contact the GoSMS folks. It's been a long time since I used the app, and I don't recall paying for any upgrades, but there must be a way to submit your registration within the app. If there isn't, their support folks should be able to advise regarding a refund of your original purchase so you can purchase through the Play Store.
If you need additional help or have more questions or details to share, please join the site so you can reply in this thread. See
