Well this is in the Windows 7 terms from here http://www.microsoft.com/About/Legal...s/Default.aspx

15. UPGRADES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. Upon upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software you upgraded from. After you upgrade, you may no longer use the software you upgraded from.
So I read that as, as long as W8 is installed, then the W7 licence is no longer valid. So you can't use both at the same time. However, I see no issue with you removing W8 and reinstalling W7, as means that only one install is live
