The different between OEM and Retail version :


OEM: usually come with your computer and tied to specific computer hardware settings, if you significantly upgrade your computer and reinstall Windows, your license is no longer good because the license was for that specific configuration and machine.


Retail: you buy this from retailer (I believe this is what you have, since it cam in a plastic case with both 32 bits and 64 bits version), you can install as many times as you want on different configurations. However, ONLY on one machine. You might have to call in everytime you attempt to activate the product.
