I apologize if I've posted twice on this topic. I didn't see my original
post appear after a bit of a wait so I thought it may have been lost in the
ether.

I was able to get an activation key and download the 64-bit version of
Vista. When I tried going through the same process again to get the 32-bit
version, I was given an activation key but could not follow through to the
download page for the file. When I tried logging in again, there appears to
be only one route to the files--through the page where you're given an
activation key. When I try going through that process, I'm told I have the
maximum number of activation keys and am not able to get at the 32-bit file.

Am I out of luck or can I get at the 32-bit version?

Actually, the download worked fine from the URL posted by Rick. I've got the
32-bit version now.
