The one with Home that needs Pro can be done as an upgrade. The Pro that
needs home has to be done as a clean install.

My last post assumed you have retail licenses. If they are OEM then the
Home to Pro will also have to be a clean install - OEM versions can't do an
upgrade.
 
I wouldn't bother to do anything. Just install the correct one in the
correct PC and you are done. MS is not so fussy about activation these
days as they are too busy rolling out Windows Vista.
