About a year ago we had a talk with the Microsoft reps, we have a corporate license for XP and several other products, the outcome was that Microsoft has no problem with downgrading a license to a older product.
In our case we needed a version of the software no longer for sale, we purchased the new version and installed the old version instead. That includes the OS, so we could buy a copy of XP but install Win98 instead, they are very happy to get your money.
