    I need to know if the X32 license is the same of the X64....I have the first one...but I need the second one . In less words...x32 and x64 share the same activation key?

    In W7 they were the same key. Try it and see.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    Not sure if they were meant to do so though.

    Re: Win8 x32 license is the same of x64 version?

    really eltel? Maybe the digital key is a different key compared to dvd version?? Just today I called Microsoft to clarify that...and they told me to buy a dvd version with another x64 key. They were so boring asking telling that they were going to record that call...and at the end they asked for my email too!? WTF? I only asked a thing and they wants to know that?? Anyway....I need to try that damn key....on the new SSD I'll receive soon! Because everyone tell me a different thing...
