Change product key in Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition

Question

I erroneously used the same product key for VS2008 on two computers. I would like to change the key on one of them. Answer from here tells where I can find the key in registry, but I couldn't find anywhere on Internet if I may actually change that value in registry. There are some answers that changing the key is impossible. What should I do then, reinstall whole Visual Studio just to change the key?
