Will a Server 2008 x64 Key work for a Server 2008 x86 edition?

I have a legal key from a server that had 2008 server installed but it was 64 bit. Can I use that key for a server 2008 x86 (32) Bit Install?

I haven't tried on single license.  But with volumn licenses, it works for me.

It depends on the license, but generally not. A single license, without any volume license with Microsoft means you are going to have to repurchase, unless you can get Microsoft to issue you  a new x86 license.

If you purchase the software and both versions came with the server or the package you bought then yes the key should work for both
It worked. Thanks again
