Thanks mikeyhsd .....but no two separate licenses (the 32-BIT second version
has its own key). We have now installed and all is well except we cannot boot
the original 64-Bit version on drive C. The two versions are shown at bootup
with the latest install first...boots fine. Looks as if the 2nd install
overwrote the 64-bit boot record????? or something
