SQL 2005 license downgrade to 2000

Does anyone know more details about "downgrade rights". Do you need to ask
MS for this right? How do you get a CD key (a legit key) for SQL 2000 if
you urchase SQL 2005.

From MS Licensing FAQ at: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/faq.mspx
Q.
How do I downgrade to SQL Server 2000?


A.
If you require SQL Server 2000 for existing solutions, you can still
acquire additional licenses by taking advantage of the SQL Server 2005
"downgrade rights." The downgrade rights enable you to purchase server plus
device CALs, server plus user CALs, or processor licenses for SQL Server
2005 and install and use the previous version for a reasonable period of
time.

I was playing around with the new SQL 2005 CLR functionality and remembered this discussion that I had with Erland Sommarskog concerning performance of scalar UDFs some time ago (See "Calling sp_oa* in function" in this newsgroup). In that discussion, Erland made the following comment about UDFs in SQL 2005: >>The good news is that in SQL 2005, Microsoft has addressed several of these issues, and the cost of a UDF is not as severe...

Hi there, We have recently deployed a couple of new SQL 2005 x64 servers in our hosting environment. We have previously used SQL 2000. I need to start rolling out the new client tools so our developers can start working on them. I tried to copy the sql tools msi off the installation CD and install it on the developers machine but it will not install on them as the workstations are 32bit and the server is x64.
