Windows 7 Activation Required

[Sentrosi2121]

So I've finally decided to install Windows 7 on my computer after downloading it last July. I get it installed and have everything ready to go and it asks for activation. I put in the activation key that came with my edition and it says that it's not a valid Windows7 key. I do have the 64bit version and that's the key that I have. When Windows tells you that the key that they generated is not a valid key, who do you go to?

Since you got it in July, you would be talking about the RC. There's a ton of global keys out there for the RC (MS doesn't really care who uses it), so any of those will do.

Yes, you can even still go here and generate the key: http://www.microsoft.com/windo...ws-7/get/download.aspx
