I don't know about brazil version, but the U.S. version was easy to upgrade.
I installed business edition on my laptop and later bought the key using
anytime upgrade. It took it awhile to do the actual upgrade but after that
everything worked fine.

I wonder if anytime upgrade isn't available yet in Brazil?
