I've purchase one SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition online and I've got the product key. But when I try to download the product, it's showing both 32 and 64 bit.iso in the download options, but when I click the download button, it's prompting to download the following file: Sqldevengmar14.img which is a.img file.
