    Do I need another license for my 32 bit disc?


    When I bought my Retail Windows 7 Home Premium, it came with two discs. A 64 and 32 bit discs. I am presently using the 64 bit disc for my main computer. Can I use the 32 bit discs on an older computer or do I require a license to do that? Is there anyway around this?

    The package of 2 discs that you bought entitles you to install one or the other, not both. You bought one license.

    You need a new license for the older computer if you intend to keep the 64 bit installation on the main PC.

    No legal way around it.
