AFAIK, such downgrade is not supported. In this case, you have to backup your files and perform a clean install.

Hi,
You may also try to contact Microsoft licensing specialist to check if you can refund the license for Standard version and purchase a license for Enterprise
version.
In the United States and Canada, you may call the licensing team directly at 1-800-426-9400 (select option 4), Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 5:30
P.M. (PST) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist. In this way, you will know the detailed information about license.
Worldwide customers can use the Guide to Worldwide Microsoft Licensing Sites
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/worldwide.aspx to find contact information in their locations.
Thank you for your understanding.
