Upgrade from ver6 to ver8 - license file

Upgrade from ver6 to ver8 - license file

Hi,
 
We currently are running ver 6 and our license is valid until next year.  We are retiring that server and I thought what a wonderful time to install a shiney new version of SDP.
 
How can I get my license file upgraded without going through the pain of upgrading the previoius install patch by patch?
 
I had installed ver 8026 I believe  and have it up and running but when I went to go live and apply my license file i got downgraded to standard and lost asset management.
