How to change license type from Per Proc to CAL ?

We had a production server installed with a Per Processor license by mistake
and need to change it to 'per seat' ie CAL. Is there a way to do this withou
t
reinstalling SQL on the server (as it is a production server now) ? The
'Choose Licensing Mode' in control panel has the 'per seat' option grayed ou
t
and only allows to change the number of processor licenses.
Thanks.Hi
