    Or does a license for one grant you a license for the other?

    When you buy vista Ultimate in this case, the package comes w/ both the 32bit and 64bit dvd's inside. So I would assume you can use the license key for either.

    I only got 32bit dvd when i bought home premium which is annoying as I wanted 64bit for my machine. Do you only get both with ultimate or something?

    If you have a retail any version but basic, you can order the 64 bit version DVD for the cost of shipping which is about £7, the key is good for either as long as you only activate one, the Ultimate DVD does have both 32 and 64 bit versions and again the one key is good for either, but not both, that is you can't install a copy of each and run 2 systems, unfortunately.
