Single key, different installation media. With Home Basic/Home Premium/Business retail versions, you can request the alternate media from MS for a nominal S/H fee.
With Ultimate Retail, you should have both editions in the box. With OEM/System Builder versions, you only get the one you purchased. You can sometimes get alternate media by contacting your vendor or MS directly. With MSDN/Technet, all should be available for you to download and/or shipped to you.
