Problem:

If Adobe holds their ground and reserve that 64 bit is the defining characteristic of "Enterprise" then something needs to be fixed. 

If you have the 64 bit enterprise installed and you attempt to punch in a CF Standard License *DO NOT* drop them to Desktop Edition with a failure. The person may be on a "trial" and may not know that you cannot run CF Standard as 32 bit only.

As it stands, today, after you punch in the Standard Serial Key - you get dropped down to desktop version and you CANNOT recover. Your Trial is done and over with.

Leave their current state (trial / developer) at whatever they were at. Just don't accept the serial key and throw an error.

Comments:

As it is getting harder and harder to buy 32-bit equipment, this is getting much more important. Regardless of whether Standard edition ever support 64-bit (a separate ER), you cannot just break people's trial if they accidentally put in a Standard serial # on a 64-bit server!
