Alright, a while ago a bought an academic (student/faculty) version of a windows 7 ultimate upgrade  (from vista) and the only  CD that came with it was 32 bit version. At the time I thought nothing of it, but now I would like to do a clean install with

64 bit. Here's my question: what's the best way to do this? 

Im fairly certain that retail versions of windows include both 32 and 64  bit installations using the same product ID, so I'm assuming I can do something similar and just get a 64 bit installer using by existing windows 7 ultimate license.  Am I right?

 Can I just get a  new 64 bit installer and use my existing license? If not, is there a cheaper upgrade so I can get a 64 bit install?
