I currently have a single license of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
(32-bit). How would I go about upgrading this to the 64-bit Edition and also
get the media?

1) Go to store/shop or on-line vendor that sells computer software.

2) Purchase the desired Windows Server 2003, one copy for each computer
to be upgraded.

3) Return to the office.

4) After backing up any important data, insert installation CD in
servers's CD drive and follow the on-screen prompts and instructions to
format the hard drive and install the new version and desired additional
features. (There is no in-place upgrade path from 32-bit to 64-bit
operating systems.) Reinstall any desired applications and restore the
backed up data.

The only thing I would say that differs, here, is that if you have an
Enterprise Agreement, I'm pretty sure you have the right to install either
32-bit or 64-bit at your choice. But when you're dealing with a retail,
single, copy? No.
