I recently purchased and installed BitDefender Total Security 2008 (32bit) onto my mothers PC, which is Windows 2000 Professional. (Going too fast I thought I was on my own PC which is Win XP on FAT32). Should I have installed the 64bit version? The hard disk has been formatted as NTFS.
If I should install the 64bit version will there be any issues with the license key? |

No there is no problem with the license key as long as you are using it on only one computer.
About the 64bits version: you should use our 64bit version only if you have a 64bit compatible PC and an OS that supports that hardware, like MS Windows XP 64bit etc. You can download the 64bits version from here: http://download.bitdefender.com |

Hello msty_me,
Because you didn't said a how many user license key you have bought it's difficult to say. There is no problem if it's for example a 2 pc 2 year license than there isn't any problem to use the same license key on another laptop or pc. To verify if you have a 32 bit or 64 bit version off windows please do this: Press the windows button together with r now type winmsd.exe press enter. Take a look at the right panel at the entry processor if you see ia64 or AMD64 than you have a 64 bit version. Here a more direct link You only have to click on the folder of your language or country. Now you will see a folder called x64 open that there you can download the 64 bit version. Kind regards, Niels |

Also Intel processors have 64bits instructions so you can see that with software like cpu-z for sure. For intel it is marked as EM64T instructions. But it is true that AMD invented the 64bits processors, still a big fan of Intel though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
And you can enter in Sys information also by only typing winmsd. @Niels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |
