Entering the Download ID is not sufficient for enabling Akeeba Backup Professional's features. You will need to download and install the Akeeba Backup Professional package on your site twice, without uninstalling the Core version. For more information and detailed instructions please take a look at our video tutorial on upgrading Akeeba Backup Core to Professional.

After you complete the transaction to purchase Akeeba Backup, you must log out of the site and log back in. That resets the Joomla! permissions and allows you to see the Pro version. Look under the Download menu item at the top of the screen.

Hm, maybe I think I know where your confusion stems from.

Downloading for older versions of PHP and Joomla!, which are no longer supported by us, requires a trip to the Compatibility page first. Find the intersection of the row with your Joomla! version and the column with the PHP version of your site. The intersection is the version number you need and is a clickable link. In your case you need Akeeba Backup 4.0.5. Clicking on that link takes you to the download page for this old version.

Please note that this complicated process is ONLY required if you want to use an outdated and unsupported version of our software on an outdated and unsupported version of Joomla! and / or PHP. We have intentionally made it a tad difficult in this case: using outdated and unsupported versions of Joomla! and PHP puts your site at risk. For example, Joomla! 3.0 contains known vulnerabilities which are very actively used to hack sites. We VERY strongly recommend upgrading your site to the latest Joomla! 3.4 version and your PHP version to the latest PHP 5.4 or 5.5 release. Anything lower can and will be used to hack your site. Moreover, by using an outdated and unsupported version of our software you will only receive limited support regarding the use of the software. We shall not provide bug fixes, new features or feature updates in old versions of our software. So here's another reason to upgrade your site as soon as possible.
