There is, although you will need a volume license key

You will need to change a file on the CD so unless you have  a cd burner etc?

Look for setupp.ini in your i386 folder open it and it will look something like this:

ExtraData=707A667567736F696F697911AE7E05
Pid=55034000

The PID tells you whether its OEM, Retail or Volume License (Coporate)

Change the PID to 51883270 and it will ask for a Corporate version license key and you wont have to worry about WPA as far as i understand it!! http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> good luck

How about converting from home to professional?  Do you need a special upgrade cd or can I load up my corporate professional cd and go?
