32 bit and 64 bit Product key question.

Here's a break down of my situation.
At my school, they sell Windows 7 at a cheap price. Both the 32bit and 64 bit versions.
The day I bought it, the guy there told me I could use it for both my laptop and desktop. So later that day I installed it on both. A few days later, I activate it on my desktop. No problems at all. Then I tried it on my laptop. Didn't work. I searched online and have come to find out that I can only have one key per computer. Ok fair enough. I'll just go back to school and buy another.
Can't do that either. Only one per student.
So now I only have about 15 days til my laptop activation timer expires.

So here's my question.
The school allows me to buy a 64 bit copy of Windows7, but not another 32 bit version.

I really want to keep Windows 7.
So can I use the product key for the 64 bit version for my laptop which already has the 32 bit version installed on it?

Thank you for your help!

I think that its one key, one computer, at a time. I have a 32 and 64 DVD, I know for a fact I can use either on another computer, as long as I uninstall the first computer.
