PS. The download file DOES contain a new product key which you can view with
notepad, but it is special in that it will not work unless the version you
are upgrading from is already activated. (If you've activated less than 120
days ago, then you will be calling MS to activate.)

In my case, I also moved to 64 bit version. So, I got to phone MS to
activate three times in one day.

I've tried to bypass the triple installation by using the key directly. No
go. Next time... buy the full version.
