No you cannot.
You would have known that if you have read the tech bulletin!

4 Technical Notes
4.1 Upgrading IP Office IP500/IP500v2 core software
When upgrading to Release 9.0 from a previous major release an upgrade licence is required. It is recommended that the IP Office Release 9.0 Software Upgrade license is installed before upgrading the system. Although the license key may not be recognized immediately by the system running an earlier major release of software, it will be recognized when the system is upgraded to Release 9.0.
Note: An IP Office 8.0 system with Essential Edition functioning but not enabled with the required Essential Edition license key will have all telephony functionality disabled after the 9.0 upgrade. It is important to verify the license information prior to upgrading. If Essential Edition is not visible in the license summary, an Essential Edition license must be purchased and installed prior to attempting the 9.0 upgrade.
This table shows the necessary steps that must be taken to upgrade the IP Office system unit to Release 9.0:

Platform             Current Release             Upgrade Step 1              Upgrade Step 2
IP500 and IP500v2    7.0 and earlier             Load 8.0                    Load 9.0
All modules          7.0 and earlier             Load 8.0                    Load 9.0
IP500 and IP500v2    8.0/8.1                     -                           Load 9.0
All modules          8.0/8.1                     -                           Load 9.0

BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

I am kind of with Okkie on this one.
The hardware might be more of the concern.
If you are replacing the core of your 4.X with an IP500, you can try to push it to the new core. Older models will ask for confirmation of say.... IP406>IP500 (pretty much the box it pops up) if you hit ok it will push it with a best match. You would definitely want to double check the port assignments as the are different in the 400 series. 4.X is also a release you need to uninstall manager before up grading if you are keeping the PC.
The other consideration is licensing. I could go on.... but maybe a few more details are needed to provide good advise.
