Can I use a XP home key on a XP pro installation ?

I originally have xp home installed (which has a legal key) but I
needed to install xp pro to get a network configured.

the xp pro key I used was a corporate key that is banned by
micro$oft.

can I replace the banned key with the legal xp home key without
breaking xp pro ?

No.
Buy Pro.
