Going from MS Server 2008 Standard x86 to MS Server 2008 Standard R2 x64

-

if format current setup, windows server 2008 standard x86 , proceed reinstall windows server 2008 standard r2 x64 (going 64-bit time around) current licenses work using 64-bit version?  i'm told allowed install either 32-bit or 64-bit , product key valid both, though 1 can installed @ time obviously.

does matter if 64-bit version r2 while original 32-bit not?  don't have original disc, going download 64-bit microsoft or similar.

also, there recommended procedure doing on same hardware?  obviously, need perform backup or system image in case have issues 64-bit version, curious details save or salvage 32-bit version, wouldn't have start scratch setting way prior.

can backup server roles , re apply them?

thanks

hi mike,

license server migration added feature in windows server 2008 r2. in windows server 2008 r2, when right-click on server name see ‘manage rds cals’ option. after selecting this, see ‘manage rds cals wizard’ guide through migration process. 

per research, there no such special needs 32 bit\64 bit can either install 32\64 bit. need perform below steps. need activate new license server calling ms clearing house directly need keep license paper on hand when call. need explain him scenario , issue. need deactivate license old server can migrate license key packs server 2008 2008 r2.
