Well Microsoft sales will be very happy to sell you a copy of Enterprise
Edition, but it won't solve your problem. You will need to partition your
data so that your identity seeds are different (1 on the publisher and 2 on
the subscriber for example) with an increment of 2.

Either that or extend your PK to include a location specific id, which will
probably involved adding another column to your tables you are replicating.
