2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. The software license is permanently
assigned to the device with which you acquired the software. That device is
the ???licensed device.??? A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a
separate device.
a. Licensed Device. You may install one copy of the software on the
licensed device. You may use the software on up to two processors on that
device at one time. You may not use the software on any other device.

I think you've jumped to a wrong conclusion.
He bought two copies of Vista (first sentence.)
Given a modicum of respect to the user, I would contend this is two separate
copies (two different product keys) since they are OEM. Not even Ultimate is
sold with both disks if OEM.
That stated: the OP is attempting to change the bitness of one device using
the proper product key assigned to it.
This should not be a problem since the copy of vista is not unique. It's the
product key that is unique.
The process will work as long as the OEM disks are not actually "recovery
disks."

It seems you're right Colin.
For some reason I was thinking of the debacle over the retail license.
In late 2006 the retail license changed a few times as regards transfers and
I thought it was the OEM license for some odd reason.

I know what you mean. You just about have to go find a computer with the
license on it and dig it out and read it. I don't blame anyone for
confusing licensing. I install stuff in a virtual machine just to check
this stuff out sometimes.
But what I will do is double check whether or not there is any difference
between the medium and large system builders and the EULA installed by an
OEM (System Builder) License pack as sold by NewEgg.
Because of all the conflicting opinions in the ng on these topics, I decided
to order a Vista Home Basic SP1 system builder pack (after all, I don't to
spend any more than needed for this) from NewEgg and will do some exeriments
in a some virtual machines. Besides checking the EULA, I can check for
upgrade functionality (there isn't supposed to be any), mixing and matching
OEM, retail full, and retail upgrade product keys, keyless installations,
and so on.
Obviously, I will be violating the SB license since I won't be installing on
a new computer for sale to a customer, but I won't be using the vm
afterwards anyway so I guess nobody is going to call the OEM police.

That's what I said.
Then again I've noticed that you're a tagalong with a bad attitude.
So please don't post to me unless you have something useful to say.

Another couple times seeing you feed the trolls will surely put it to
a stop since you'll be joining them in the boob bin.

So I'm guessing that you're some sort of Supertroll hiding behind a =
