upgrade from VS2008 standard to VS2008 pro- options?

I received a copy of VS2008 Standard Edition at a recent MS launch event. I
need to test some code for MS Office (Excel) and also update a program I
wrote in VS2003 for a mobile device (still to run on the same, ancient
mobile device).

I did a search for VS2008 upgrades, but the search returned an overwhelming
number of upgrades from earlier versions of VS to VS2008, rather than any
upgrade options from 2008 standard to 2008 pro.

Questions:
(a) Does anyone know whether the MS Launch event copies of VS2008 standard
are upgrade-eligible?
(b) Can anyone point me to information on upgrading within the VS2008
family?

Many thanks,
Keith
