Default MSOffice 2007 MVL Licence vs. Retail Licence

Hello all,
I work in a company which is lucky enough to be part of the MVL scheme.
I have recently installed 2 copies of MSOffice Standard accross my network
using the software provided by the scheme (From the office suites and
applications disk) and used the MVL licence key for our company to activate
them.

Since then we have purchased 2 boxed copies of MSOffice 2007 Standard -
Retail edition which we were going to use to replace the licence keys used
from the MVL.

I have gone into regedit and attempted to use the new key from the boxed
retail version but it comes up saying its an invalid key.

Is there anything else I could change to get it accept the key? I am
assuming there is a slight difference in the setup of the 2 different
versions which have inprinted the type of installation used and now the
software will only accept a MVL key.
