I just upgraded for Standard to Professional by installing Profressional overtop of Standard with no problems. It kept my settings, history and plugins. Just go for it!

You can install professional version over standard. VS doesn't support on the fly upgrade - fill new licence key => new version. But you can't two different editions of one version Visual Studio.

This is not possible on the same system

  1. VS 2008 Standard edition
  2. VS 2008 Professional edition

This is possible on the same system

  1. VS 2005 Standard edition
  2. VS 2008 Professional edition

If you have MSDN version, install over.
