How do I upgrade a REDHAT E4 WS install - to ES?

I have 15 machines that I just licensed for Redhat ES.  Unfortunately the up2date program does not work for them because  they are all running WS.
Tech Support told me a (non supported) way to take care of this would be to install the ES package.  How do I do this?  Which package do I download?  Can you point me to it?
Then I run rpm -e redhat release ?

Thanks!

Or other simple way is copy all files on RHEL ES CDs on the NFS share system.
Then cd to the all the rpm file directory and run

rpm -Fvh /path-to-all-rpm-files/*.rpm

Before you do that, make sure your ES version is newer than the your existing WS.
So download RHEL ES 3.0 Update 7 or RHEL ES 4 Update 3 CD ISO files from http://rhn.redhat.com/ first.
Then covert those ISO files into CD (burning it).
