Daza Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 and that'll refresh the page even if it has the key, and you'll miss it You may miss it today, but effectively when the page has generated your key and ties it to your Windows Live account, you've reserved your key. So, subsequent refreshes have no effect . When Microsoft have fixed things up, you'll receive the key that was generated previously, this may be through Technet or else where (already tested, tried accessing the key generation page with the same WL account and got the same key).

scratch42069 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 64-bt version is running great here on my older test machine. It's running on an Athlon X2 3800+, 2GB of RAM and an 8600GT and it scores 4.9 in the Windows Experience Index. This machine scored 4.8 in Vista. I was able to install the Vista R2.14 Realtek HD Audio driver and it's working great too. So far I have no complaints with the OS at all.

funktron Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Yeah, in my limited time with it before work (and sans key, bLAH), it was a very nice experience from setup to installing various programs. Google Chrome didn't work for me at all tho.

devize Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 This is getting really frustrating, It just won't work!! And when it goes to the live search thing I have to delete cookies and history then go to technet sign in again then put the link back in.

Silverskull Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Well, they do have 2.5 million keys - one should think that it would last for a while, so don't fret. Since Microsoft is having trouble with this, I'd imagine the demand for these keys is extremely high. What I'm really worried about is people getting 10+ keys. I need one for my laptop and one for my desktop, but that's it, and I can just use my 2 main Live IDs for that.

devize Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Pretty sure one key can only be used 3 times, do you guys think that I'd be better off refreshing more than 1 tab or just use the single one?

Gio Takahashi Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Holy crap, I finally got my key. By the way, use "Check4change" plugin, seems to be better than reload every, and it will stop refreshing when you get the page you need.

Hipnotik Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 One key will activate 10 systems. According to the Windows 7 FAQ, each key will only activate 3 systems. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-faq.aspxWhen you download the Beta you?ll be given a product key. (See Installing the Windows 7 Beta.) Be sure to use the product key to activate the Beta within 30 days, or the Beta?s functionality will be limited. Your product key will work for upthree separate computers, so if you want to install the Windows 7 Beta on another PC, you can re-use the same key.

Silverskull Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 According to the Windows 7 FAQ, each key will only activate 3 systems. Huh. Thought it'd be similar to the way normal keys work, but I guess I missed that. It was 10 for the Vista betas, right? This is good, I won't need a separate key for each PC...
