I have windows vista ultimate,I've installed the 64-bit version in my gaming
rig,but since vista ultimate comes with both 64-bit an 32-bit versions I was
thinking of building spare computer an using my 32-bit version disk.
What I would like to know is how can I go about getting another key to use
my 32-bit version?

Phone number or e-mail of who I can contack?

That would require another license.
The cheapest option is often to buy another full set locally.
There is minimal savings buying just the license.

You can't. You're allowed to use either the 64-bit or 32-bit version.
You can't use them both at the same time (without buying another
license).
