The company I work for purchased server 2008 64 buit but needs 32 bit. Can I use the same license number? If not what should I do?

Check with the Microsoft technical support of your country by calling them with a phone. Best regards.

Yes, you can use your product key to activate a 32bit installation of Windows Server 2008 R2. Product keys for Windows are language and architecture (x86/x64) independent.

Hi Bobmcm4, I agree with Sander, Windows product key is edition specific not architecture specific. You can use the 64bit key to activate the same 32bit OS edition. If you have trouble activating Windows, you can call activate it manually by phone. 1. With Windows running click Start, then in the Search box type: slui.exe 4 2. Press Enter on your Keyboard 3. Select your Country. 4. Select the Phone Activation option, then call the number given and hold for a real person. If you need any further help, please contact Microsoft Activation Center. Here’re the phone numbers for your reference. http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/existing-customers/activation-centers.aspx Regards, Karen JiPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
