We have an application which will only run on a 32-bit platform, my understanding is that as of Sept 30, it is no longer possible to purchase a newer version of O/S and downgrade to the 32-bit version. Is this correct? Is there any way to still purchase Server 2008 32-bit?

Hello, According to below thread you can use 32-bit applications on 64-Bit systems.So I suggest check the posts of experts in below thread and act accordingly. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsserver2008r2general/thread/7dceac92-beea-4168-b24d-39d22d481f04Regards, Ravikumar P

Hi Ravikumar, The application does not work in WoW64 emulation, it needs to be 32-bit. There are DLL files which need to be used and these are compiled for 32-bit systems only.

32 Bit is EOS so it is not possible to buy it as far as I am aware.
