Licence Upgrading to 64 bit Vista from 32bit

[Guest OKButton]

I have a licence for 32bit Vista Ultimate OEM. But I would like to upgrade to

64bit Vista ultimate. I realise this will be a reinstall but I am interested

to know how I can upgrade my licence (or even If I need to) to the 64 bit

product. Do I have to buy a completely new licence?

The OEM license is for one or the other. You would need to purchase a new

license, but I would see if you can get Microsoft the do something for you.

They have been working with some of the system builders on this.

Yes but why not talk to the OEM who sold you the current OS? They may

have an upgrade program available for very few bucks.
