Hi Guys

I ordered MS Sql Server 2005 (x32) Single Processor (MPN 228-04026) the
other day.

Today I received MS Sql Server 2005 (x64) Single Processor (MPN 228-04019)
plus Microsoft SQL server 2005 (x32) Media Kit. (MPN 228-05236).

Presumably the idea is that I install the x32 Meda Kit & the X64 version of
SQL Server 2005 will 'cover' the license.

Is this correct?, would this be considered 'legal' as far as licensing is
concerned?.

This is a subject that I have lately discussed with a Microsoft Licensing
Specialist. She told me that, I'd be able to use an x64 SQL Server license
if this is an Open License. If it's a box, then I can't.

This is what she told me. To be sure, you must call a local Microsoft
Licensing Specialist.
