Upgrading Digital Standard to Collectors Edtion

I recently bought Guild Wars 2 a couple of days ago from the website and created an account. While out shopping, I located a collectors edition and picked that up as well. When attempting to upgrade the key from a Digital Standard to a Collectors Edition key, I get the error stating “Serial Code Overlap.” So it appears I can’t upgrade my account with this key.

Is there anything you guys can do? I rather not restart with another character if I can avoid it.

You can replace your SE code with a CE, with the Support Team’s help. But do be aware that you’ll lose the SE code completely — you’ll get the upgrades, but you’ll lose the code. I think that’s why you’re getting the error message, to make sure that you truly wish to do that, and not “consume” the second code without your approval.
