I installed the 32 bit Windows 7 Pro on my home built PC using my retail pack of two CDs, 32 and 64 bit. I'm a 77 year old retired home user and now have a second home built PC on which I want to install the 64 bit version.

Do I need a second license and if so, how do I go about purchasing it here in South Africa? Can Tom's Hardware sell me a second license, if I require one, and what is the cost?

The retail pack contains both 32-bit and 64-bit media but only one licence key. This allows you to install either 32-bit or 64-bit (or switch from one to the other) on a single PC. You can use either disk to install Windows 7 on another computer but you have to purchase another license key for that 2nd PC.
