Yes, you can undo an upgrade. If you have an XP box, you can upgrade it to Win8. At that point your XP license is no longer usable.
Later, you can remove the upgrade, which restores the OEM XP license to the original machine. At that point the upgrade is once again available to be applied to any PC you own, provided it has a license for Windows that qualifies it for upgrade.
You can do this as many times as you want on your own hardware.
