Vista 32bit, 64bit activation

TechSpy · 01-16-2008, 12:47 PM

I have recently purchased Vista ultimate under the impression that I would be able to use the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS under a dual boot. On the box it says that both versions are incuded. What it doesn't say though, is that the activation key only works for one version.

My question is this: once I have activated the 32-bit version, can I then use the activation key at a later date if I decide to update to the 64-bit version? Or will I have to purchase vista ultimate again just to use the 64-bit version?
