Default source or store to buy lic to convert windows 8.1 home to 8.1 pro edtion?

The 8.1 Pro Pack which upgraded Windows 8 to 8 Pro or 8 Pro with Media
Center was discontinued in the fall of 2015.

The Pro Pack is in extremely limited supply having been discontinued from
replenishing 3rd party inventory for over a year.

If you can find it, a few sources might be available by searching using
Google or Bing. The pricing should be around $100.

Retail 8.1 Pro may be easier to purchase and possibly from more reputable
sources though the price(e.g. Newegg.com) is about 30-40% % higher($140) for
OEM 8.1 Pro edition(clean install required, not for upgrading from Home to
Pro) and twice as much($200) for the retail 8.1 Pro(capable of use as
upgrade media).

Good luck on your quest.
