Assuming you are still using the old setup OK there should be no need to reinstall anything. All that will happen on upgrading is that your current account (Which must be active as you are using it LOL) will be set to use the gold service version of the file sent to the modem when it updates the lease.

Given the system uses the mac address to identify the account and that wont change even with a reinstall of the software my money is on any attempt to re-register the same mac address giving an error in any case.

Hope this helps.

AFAIK this should be possible either via the on-line upgrade option or via phone to CS but I stand to be corrected on that.
