32bit 64bit dual system

hi all, im new to the forums and indeed to vista as i just purchased vista home premium, my question is- i want to put a dual operating system with 32bit and 64bit(which i purchased from microsoft for £7) both loaded fine but im unsure whether i need to purchase another full license for my 64bit version or does my license allow me to use both on one p.c when i try to activate the 64bit version it says this license it being used(by me i hope) , any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Ranger fc,

Welcome to the forum.

If you use the same product key for the 64 bit Vista as for the 32 bit, then yes you will need to buy a new license to use both of them at the same time. You can only use the product key for either or, not both at the same time.

Sorry,
Shawn
