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?

Unable to Download 32-bit Vista
