CA is a standalone state.  Just go back to ProConnect Tax and choose to e-file the Federal return.

Proconnect would not let me efile the federal return.   I cannot click on the box to efile.

Call tech support?  If so, what is the number?

Go to the Check Return tab and review the diagnostic messages.  Make sure you have at least all the critical diagnostics cleared - until you do that, ProConnect Tax won't let you e-file (because the return will likely be rejected due to errors, omissions, and/or failure to meet the IRS' requirements).
