Default Where can I get a 64-bit vista disk?

I bought a retail vista ultimate DVD from newegg back when vista came out and I have been using it on another system, but now I want to transfer that over to my main computer and 64 bit. Problem is this vista ultimate only came with a 32-bit disk. It's kind of funny the packaging outside says "32 bit and 64 bit versions" and then on the disk itself it says "32 bit software only".

So anyway I heard you can get a 64-bit disk from microsoft just for these kinds of situations, where do I do it?

If you do it through Microsoft it won't cost you any money just shipping I think, they should just let you download the 64bit iso once you authenticate your cd key or something.

I got my version of 64bit vista from Microsoft's website through msdn
