Home edition is free, but home edition does not enable converting from logical to primary. I thought this was the same with EaseUS (but there is confusion over this, more in the edit). You can verify my claim without installing it here (6th bullet in right list):

Here is a wayback link in case someone is asking the same question 2 years in the future.
Upgrade AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard to Professional Edition
UPDATE:
Regarding EaseUS, it gives an error when trying to convert the partition to primary. Error is "System or boot partition cannot be converted!"

Also, I ran into this problem before, but the significance wasn't obvious to me. Because it throws an error, I can't verify if it could do the operation if there wasn't an error. But if EaseUS won't make the conversion because you just simply can't convert a logical system partition to primary, then how did other people have success with this issue?
Note, I have also encountered a prompt for a license when trying to convert the other partition from primary to logical. This would seem to contradict its advertised features. However... it seems to work with the older 9.1.0 version. In other places, people have reported the conversion option just not showing up in Windows 8, although I do not know if that is related or not.
