Mikep7779 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Got my Vista Ultimate from Intel. Got a 64 and 32 bit copy. Each version has its own key. So can i install the 32 bit and 64 bit on different computers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikep7779 Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Alright thanks dude. IS there any special reason they did this? From what ive read the 32bit keys work on the 64 bit. Thats why i didnt know if my copys were diffrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohead Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 NOYou can install EITHER 32 bit or 64 bit. NOT BOTH. If you install on both, you will have activation problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 He said they both have different keys. 2 keys 2 seperate OS disks 2 seperate pc's I don't see where he would have any issue. Neither the keys or the disks are not interlinked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikep7779 Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Is there anyway to tell if these are OEM or Retail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Usually, you can tell from the packaging and media. If it's the snazzy Vista box, hologram'ed media, and a product key inside on the case, it's retail. OEM usually doesn't come with anything but a COA sticker and media.

Nakatomi2010 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I'm assuming you got the retailedge bundle like me....They're BOTH valid keys, regardless of the version you install (I used the 64-bit key on my 32-bit version, and vice versa)...The tally for me? Two free Vista Ultimates, and a free Vista Business... And a nice Home Server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinGT Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Vista Ultimate upgrade only came with one product key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
