Convert Redhat 4 ES to AS?

We installed a third-party application onto a Redhat 4 ES server 
recently. Due to some unfortunate application issues, we'd like to 
upgrade to the next version of the application, but the vendor claims 
the next version is supported only on Redhat 4 AS.

Is there a supported process to "convert" an existing Redhat 4 ES server 
to AS? Alternatively, it appears that there are just a few differences:

Is it as simple as replacing the three ES RPMS with their AS equivalents 
and then re-entitling the server at RHN with an AS license?

Cheers,

Paul
