DavidM Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I just got my x64 using the Click4Change method with 3 tabs @ 15 seconds. Keep the address copied, so you can paste it back into the browser, because every so often it will pass you to another page. Good Luck.

Krigo Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'm using 4 tabs with 5 seconds, the only change I'm normally happening is that the 'page not found' on the MS site, how long did it take you for your key?

Dilligaf2008 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Anyone having luck for the keys recently? It's been around 15 minutes with check4change with no luck. Refreshing every 5 seconds as well. It takes a while; took me about 4 hours with Check4Change running in 7 tabs simultaneously @ 3 seconds per refresh to get a key. Just need to be patient. A lot of people are trying all at the same time to get a key, and the servers are just being overloaded; just keep trying, and you'll get a key. Or, if you have patience, try in about 12 hours. The servers should be fine by then (hopefully).

Krigo Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'll keep a couple more tabs open, go play oblivion and check back every now and again. At least I got Windows 7. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/107/#findComment-590395772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELTETHISACCOUNT Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 C4C has been refreshing the damn page every 5 seconds for the past 5 hours. For christ sakes!

DELTETHISACCOUNT Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 ^ Please don't boast that you reported something. Moderators hate it when you do that. Must just be luck of the draw. Are you trying to get a x64 or x86 key? I heard that it was easier to get an x64 key, so I decided to go that route.

They will change the limit because there has been a phenomenal request! Microsoft was not prepared as always. And do not create posts on this forum with illegal ways. I have windows 7 in vmware but don't have a keyim stuck with limited features as i cant find a graphics driver.... stuck in aero basic without all the eye candy :( Vmware only runs Vmware drivers so you will not be able to run GFX drivers, am i right? install it on a real machine naturally :p native baby Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/107/#findComment-590395846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta1 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 @ primaxx: everyones own choise.. i'm running the lekaed version on a seperated new system and checked source code before i used it.. so i can tell you, this is no mal- or whatever -ware.. and if you want to run the beta on a productive system, you can't have even read the official instractions.. so even if it would be infected (what it's not!) there you got the choise to run the beta for 30 days on a clean system, or to run it till august on a instable, ensecured system. what do you think why this is a beta. because vendor don't think it's stable and it cause mal your system!? anyway.. link will be deleted..

AFAIK, no virtualization software supports anything other than a basic VGA driver. If you want the eye candy, you'll have to install it properly.

And also, I think the key is just so you can have it activated for a longer period of time. It has nothing to do with the extra bells and whistles of Windows 7.
