Hello.

I clicked a link on Gizmodo.com today that led me to a page that stated 100k
downloads of Pre-RC 1 Build 5536. I downloaded just fine and did not see
anywhere a place to register or obtain an activation key.

When I installed I bypassed that step, (foolishly), thinking there was some
magic or tracked activation voodo in the actual download.

Now it looks like I have 14 days to activate and no key. Am I screwed? Is
there a way to rollback to my previous build, (xp pro)?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm currently in the same situation, if anyone could point us towards a
solution or simply tell us that there are no further activation keys
available, then that would be very useful.

What I ended up doing was calling the 800 number listed in the activation
section. I punched in my code- of course it didn't work, but then I was
transferred to a person and she gave me an activation key.

All I did was to activate it over the phone and spoke to an operator at
Microsoft who gave me a 42 digit key code to do so, works great.
