Apparently, the &lsquo;Retail&rsquo; key is more reliable than the &lsquo;OEM&rsquo; version of the key.</p> <p>Step 2: On the machine to be upgraded, start Command Prompt with admin privileges. Run this: <code> changepk.exe /productkey VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T.</code> This will require you to reboot the machine and install the files necessary to get you into Professional license. If you are not going to buy a license and are okay without activation, you can use it. But if you bought a license go to the next step.</p>
