I discovered it by accident when the online activation worked without complaints for both the 32 and 64-bit versions. Both were installed on 2 different computers running simultaneously.

You know something? That situation you experienced shouldn't have happened. The license is only designed for 1 validation when the other computer is using the same key. Whether it's 32 bit or 64 bit.
