    You will not lost license during upgrade because you keep files.

    I think he is asking because these two products are merged into one place inside the Windows Activation files...

    But as all said, you will not lose your Office 2013 license state by the Upgrade. The upgrade will not touch on non-related Windows Activation inside the core files! :)
