You've got two problems. First, the MSDN key won't work with the OEM version
that you bought, so that's a no-go. And I've head but haven't confirmed,
that the keys for different languages aren't interchangeable either.
Your best bet is to simply exchange the software you bought for something
you actually want.
And, there may be licensing issues with using the MSDN subscription key as
well.
