Perhaps wait for the official release so you can sign up for it.
The site should be http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/ "squarec" wrote: Sorry if this is old ground... ...I've downloaded today's pre-RC1 release, but haven't participated before. Is it possible to sign up at this late stage and obtain one? Thanks, N

Obtaining a new key
OK, I downloaded the Pre-RC1 Vista, used it to upgrade my Beta 2 and I can't
activate because it's saying that the key is already in use? How do you get a new key for the Pre-RC1 version? Do I have to find some older key from my MSDN stuff? Also, what about people who don't have MSDN and just downloaded the Pre-RC1? What do they do? Isn't it silly to allow 100,000 people to download it and play with it but not provide a key for it? Thanks everyone. "squarec" wrote: Sorry if this is old ground... ...I've downloaded today's pre-RC1 release, but haven't participated before.

Just install without the key.
You've got 14 days to activate and hopefully RC1 will be out by then. Paula "Peter" wrote in message ...
