I just bought a license of Office 2007 Ultimate through my school. All they gave me is a cd key and a link for downloading the software. It's an exe file which is about 550MB.

Doesn't Office 2007 Ultimate come with both 32bit and 64bit versions? And my license can be used on both of them, right?

How can I tell if the one I'm downloading 32bit or 64bit? Is there somewhere I can download both of them? There's only the Professional version available to be downloaded at Microsoft Download Center.

Any thought would be appreciated!

I took advantage of a similar offer earlier in the year and from what I recall, the download location was on a non-Microsoft server (even though Microsoft were involved with the offer).

I only thought there was one version, not a separate 32/64 bit version, and this page seems to indicate that it is indeed merely a 32 bit version (see the NOTE).

Maybe you are right. But the retail version of Ultimate comes with a DVD, which I would assume has more stuff than the 550MB file I downloaded. Do you know if I'm missing something?

Just about all business applications that are physically distributed come on DVD now a days. The Office 2007 Ultimate DVD has 532MB of data on it.
