What does (Bundle-only) mean in my licenses

[Stygian]

Hi,
I just wanted to play some rounds of CS:GO. Never played it before, but I played a a lot of CS1.6 and Source. So I searched the store and it said CS:GO is already in my library. So I looked at my library and couldn't find it there. I looked at my licenses and I found "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (Bundle-only)" and an option to remove the license. What does that mean? Do I have a license or not? And if so, why does it not appear in my library?
Hope you can help me :). Thanks in advance.

csgo used to be part of the valve bundle
the game went free to play and was removed from the bundle

you must have bought the bundle and got a license for csgo
but because the game is free to play it wont show in your library until you install it

at least thats the best explanation i can come up with

install the game load it up and if you have prime and a loyalty badge then you definitely owned it before the free to play update
if you dont have prime and loyalty badge it doesn't really matter
as it makes very little, if any difference to the actual game

Maybe that's a stupid question, but how can I install it, if it's not in the library? The steam homepage only shows "play" but not "install".

click play,it will start "updating"/installing
or copy this to a web browser and hit enter
