Hi,

If it's just an update to a program that came with the system, then it would
most likely be 32-bit. Most software runs in 32-bit mode under Vista x64.

By the by, just because a computer has a 64-bit processor does not mean the
installed OS is 64-bit. In fact, most are installed with the 32-bit version.

Licencing wise, nothing. You can use the 32bit CD key on a 64 bit. It's
just that the DVDs supplied are 32 bit and you have to send off for a
64bit DVD.
