Note that Pro and free version both use the same high-resolution imagery.
*UPDATE* as of Jan 30, 2015 Google made Google Earth Pro available for free. Login with your email address and the license key GEPFREE and that's it.

UPDATE:
You had to pay for Google Earth Pro up until 2015 but now it is free. No more license needed.
The Google Earth Free and Pro versions have the same numbering scheme so the version itself doesn't tell you if what you have is Pro version or not. When you start Google Earth Pro it will have "Google Earth Pro" in the title of the window.
You can also go to Help menu and select "About Google Earth".
