Yes, but you must have a separate license for each of them. You cannot
use one license for both of the versions.

ACCORDING TO MY LICENSE AGREEMENT FROM VISTA ULTIMATE UPGRADE

c. *Alternative Versions. *The software may include more than one
version, such as 32-bit and 64-bit. You may use only one version at one
time.


I BELEIVE A DUAL BOOT SATISIFYS THIS. WHEN I INSTALLED BOTH VERSIONS IN
A DUAL BOOT, I HAD TO CALL MICROSOFT BUT HAD NO PROBLEMS.

Yes, if you buy two licenses.

No, if you buy a single product.

Please don't yell at us. We can hear you if type normally, in mixed
case.

What you say is not correct. You have a single license, not two, and
may not have both versions installed, even on one computer in a
dual-boot scenario.

If Microsoft accepted this when you called and let you activate both,
consider yourself lucky. They weren't supposed to permit this.

I wasn't yelling, for some reason everything I typed came out in caps
even with caps off.........

I was only saying what happend. I told microsoft what I doing and they
didn't ask me to purchase a second license. Below is a cut and paste
from the license agreement as it was installed on my PC How do you
interpret the license wording?

Does "use" mean "install" as in a dual boot? or does it mean use as in
use both at the same time...................

b. License Model. The software is licensed on a per copy per device basis.
2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. Before you use the software under a
license, you must assign that license to one device (physical hardware
system). 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. Except as provided in the Storage and Network Use
(Ultimate edition) sections below, you may not use the software on any other
device.
