We are migrating sql server 2005 32 bit enterprise edition on windows 2003 32 bit enterprse to sql sever 2005 64 bit enterprise edition on windows 2003 64 bit on new harware setup
1.Do we have any license complication here provided we are not increasing cpu compute power?
2.If license will not be issue then how we will be getting 64 bit sql 2005 media with same license keys as we have in sql 32 bit media.
regards,
Bipan

Don't see any issues here

do you have digital media or physical media, if physical you should have received both x86 and x64 disks if virtual, then you should have access to the MS download website to download the x64 media
in terms of licensing, if your not increasing the amount of physical CPUs in the server then there are no issues.

Personally, I'd take no advice from anyone online about licensing. Get in touch with your Microsoft rep to do these validations. No one here is responsible if we get it wrong and it's not a technical question.
