Changing Licenses

We have a situation where we need to change instances from CAL to Proc on
Enterprise Edition instances. If we purchase the Proc licenses without
actually making the conversion, will this be a problem? Or do we need to
physically convert the license? I understand it is an honor system, but I
want to make sure that we have properly reported our licenses and done them
correctly. I also was told that in order to convert the licenses we had to
reinstall the instance. Is this true?
Thanks for any assistance.I'm disagree with the comment you needed to install your stuff all over
again.
According to my opinion there is nothing you are gonna do about this license
changing thing. You just need your new license.
However, I encourage you to consult an authorized vendor to be sure and to
know about the process of this transition.
