Does deleting a Windows 7 VM also Deactivate it with Microsoft?

I installed Windows 7 32-bit on a iMAC using VM Fusion 3.0.2. a few weeks later my son installed Windows 7 64-bit, on the same iMAC, using Boot Camp. I noticed on my Windows 7 64-bit that I have 2 days before automatic activation takes place, so I tried to "ACTIVATE NOW" but I received a Microsoft message 'THE ACTIVATION SERVER DETERMINED THAT THE SPECIFIED PRODUCT KEY COULD NOT BE USED" .. .. I then went to my VM Ware and deleted the Windows 7 32-bit VM. My question is: By deleting the Win 7 32-bit from VMware does that also DEACTIVATE it from Microsoft?
