Activation problem--but NOT what you think--this is different...
Can someone please help me? I have upgraded from Vista BETA 2 to RC1 without
any problems--went smooth as silk and runs great. I have the activation key that was emailed to me for BETA 2 but when I click on the "activate windows now" link on the system properties page NOTHING happens--I don't get error mesages like everyone else--it's just that nothing happens no matter how many times I click on it--what do I do now? I've got 14 days. Thanks.

I have the exact same problem. Upgrade went smooth but after I verified
everythink was working properly I can not activate my copy of Vists RC1. I can not change the product key either. Click on either "link" and nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated.

I've got the same problem as well. Windows Vista RC1 seemed to accept the
product key for Wiondows Vista Beta 2 during installation. However, now the "Activate Windows" link gives a null response. "CBaker" wrote: I have the exact same problem.

O.K.--here's an update Folks--I just decided the heck with it and reinstalled
RC1 again (upgrade and not a clean install-same as before) but this time I entered the Product Key when it asked for it during the install. That was a mistake--at first it was buggy as hell but has since settled down. Now on the system properties page it states, "2 day(s) until automatic activation. Activate Windows now" ???? Why 2 days and not now???? Oh well...it's better then what it used to say. The link still does nothing when I click on it-zip, zero, nada. I'll keep everyone posted to let you know if Vista "auto activates".Thanks.
