Open terminal and enter "sudo apt-get update " without quotes. – Sudheer Dec 08 '14 at 18:19

In Software center, you can't click the install button because it seems to be inactive/disabled. Go to the top left and find file -> install. – BDRSuite Mar 16 '15 at 20:15

Possible solutions: 1.Try reinstalling software center (before reinstalling be sure to update the source list) sudo apt-get purge software-center sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install software-center
- If reinstalling doesn't help look at this one - Install button in Software Center is disabled

Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and type sudo software-center. The Software Center now launched will still have the install button disabled, but the File/Intall menu will be enabled. My system: 14.04 LTS (latest updates).

Possible duplicated answer.As you said it is upgraded from 12.04 it should be a bug: Install button in Software Center is disabled .
