Vista Pre RC1 Key not needed
Hi,
I installed Vista Pre RC1 in a VMWare virtual machine. Altough it ask me for the key, I left it blank and finished the installation and it's working without issues. I don't have a beta 2 key, so I want to be sure it's no needed when I installed in my personal PC. Has anyone installed it without any key number? How it works? Does it needs activation? Thanks, Danny

Vista Pre RC1 Key not needed
Danny;
Activation is required if Vista is to run more than 14 days. Since you did not insert a key, you can not activate and it is done after 14 days. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "Daniel Vélez" wrote in message ...

Vista Pre RC1 Key not needed
I'm curious about this answer too because I installed Vista without the
Product Key so I'd be presented with a choice of installations (eg, Business). I needed a smaller install given some space constraints. I now need to insert the Product Key, which I have, in order to activate Vista. Any suggestions? Many thanks... "Hiep" wrote: Hi Danny and jupiter Jones!

The Product Key you have is probably for Ultimate and will not work with
Business. You will need to install Ultimate to use your key. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "Merc" wrote in message ...

Sign up for the Vista download:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...y/preview.mspx It does not matter you already have Vista. The last step will give you the Product Key which should work on this build. Start/Help and Support For information about activating. You should be able to enter your Product Key. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "Hiep" wrote in message ... Hi Danny and jupiter Jones!
