whats the product key issue

I have downloaded Vista Beta 2, 3 different times now. I have three different Product Keys and not a damn one will work. Does anyone know whats up or have a soultion.? Has Microsoft addressed this issue as of yet? Or are we left hanging out in the air on this one.

This beta release was only for a certain time, maybe they have enough beta testers. -- AMD-FX-60 2gb OCZ Plat. memory ATI 1800 AIW 2x74gb Raptors in RAID-0 2x400gb WD HDD in RAID-1 Epox Nvidia-4 Ultra M/B Senior Member Overclockers.com

Surely, though, they wouldn't issue him a product key if they didn't want to.

Try going to another computer where no one has tried to download the beta yet..
Then go to
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx
And use the Download Now to get the key but don't download the software (since you already did it from the same location I assume).
If that doesn't help then guess there's something wrong with their system.. (or you are entering the keys wrong everytime....)

They might have still issued him a key, and don't call him Shirley! :-)

well if yougot an extra key, id be willing to try it myself, cause mine says its all ready in use, makes no sense, let me know eamil me at matthewutley@yahoo.com

If you really think someone is going to send you their Vista key, then I want to know where you're getting your dope, because it must really be good!
Nobody in their right mind would send you their key!

Aye, I hear ya. once the key gets to a warez poster it will be all over the newsgroups, and shut down in no time.
