can you buy just the licence key for windows 7?

i've bought windows 7 pro full version for my pc, but now my wife wants it aswell, so is it possible to just use the installation cd i have already and just purchase a new licence key for cheaper than the full package to get her on windows 7, or will i have to buy a new copy of it for full price? or will the licence key for an oem version work on the full version if i install it, or is that tied to the oem version?

just trying to save some money but not sure if its going to be an option lol

I'd just buy Home Premium

no remote desktop, no domain joining, those are the main things missing from HP

All you are buying is a licence key, the media is worthless.

What Bledd said. Home Premium prices were still pretty good last time I checked.
