I totally agree that using MS-Office for converting from DOC to DOCX is 
always a better apporach than using 'any' other piece of software.
('better' is not equal to 'faster'/'cheaper'/..... )

Because conversion is done between two MS-Office formats, the license 
can not be an issue.

MS-Office has some commandline options to start a macro, which can do 
the 'SaveAs' fo you....
