I was just about to post a bunch when I saw your post.😀

Hell... I dont even need to be signed into www.live.com for a key now.
And, if you do a reload on the key page, you get a new or different key.
At least I do. Or a retating series of keys.
Its a beta, so no matter anyway...
But if these "keys" are truly limited, dont reload too often.
Just get the one(s) you need.

I just changed the win7-64 to win7-32 for the 32 key

ps.
quote above is the syntax of that link. Try cut & paste.
Also, the # 32 should direct to 32 key, replacing 32 with 64 should direct to 64 key.

btw... hxxp :roll:

What am I missing? I've copied and pasted into every type of browser while signed into live and still get directed to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/

 

[sportage]

I dont know. It works here. ????

Posting from a VM (VX Virtual Box) using Windows 7 Ultimate Beta. So far, so good! 😀

 

[abaez]

Sigh, well if anyone has an extra 64 key it would be appreciated.

Interesting. I'm running the 7000 build from a torrent download. Woke up this morning, had a message pop up telling me I need to active. Closed the message, went back to sleep. Now nothing, seems to be working fine without activation. Fingers crossed.

LOL, thanks but not even close. I've just been around long enough to see quite a bit and I learned how to read and put things together. I used many posts from those at SD and past knowledge about a few things to put together a better (at least easier at the time) method to get the keys. I'm glad everyone seems to now be getting them though! 🙂

Thanks to you all! 🙂

It will work for 30 days. You need to activate if you want to go until August.

Use a key listed here.

Thanks mate.

 

[postmortemIA]

officially it is working now
http://technet.microsoft.com/e...alcenter/dd353205.aspx
you can get keys and download

 

[blurredvision]

I couldn't get the download to start in Firefox, so I went through IE7 and got it to start that way. I should have it in about an hour and a half.

Getting a key was really easy. Got one.

Can you install this off a usb flash drive? I don't have any blank dvd's to burn on right now. Just if my BIOS supports loading off USB???

I had a external HDD. If you just make a partition on it (or the whole drive) and go in disk management and right click on the partition and select "make active" then all you have to do is drag the contents of the ISO onto the drive and as long as your BIOS supports installing from USB you're good to go.

It's how I installed it 🙂

I forgot that either PC mag or PC World did say MS got rid of it for good.

 

[RebateMonger]

A post on another site suggests that there are only ten unique Keys that MS is giving out for these Win7 public betas.


Edit:
Arrgh...I missed the post on the previous page on this Forum, which lists those full Keys.

Now I just got to wait for my Win8 beta key 😉.

If you were miraculously fortunate enough to get a key Friday (like me!), it ain't one of those 10 and appears to be truly unique. So I guess I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate Lucky Bastard Edition.

Same here. I was miraculously fortunate to get a key early Friday afternoon and neither my 32 nor 64bit keys are in that list.
