For a start, go to Start, Control Panel, Welcome Center and check which
version of Vista you are running. Most likely Ultimate, but best to check
anyway. Login to Connect/MSDN and check for where the keys are. Select
"Generate new key" and use the key of the version you are running. Business,
Home Basic and Ultimate all have different keys. After that, try activation
again.

What is the connect/MSDN site I only have MSDN site that I sign in with my
Cert number.

Well, ignore the Connect site and log into MSDN and obtain a new key,
http://msdn.microsoft.com
You might also want to post this issue in the microsoft.public.msdn.general
newsgroup

There is no product key area on the MSDN site I got my key in an email from
Microsoft I got two keys from them one for client and the other for server.
I used the same key from 5270 and that one worked with 5270 and it was the
same key that I got in email now.

Try consulting MSDN admin directly then, they should help. I'm not sure if
the Longhorn Beta Team can help or not... but I'll try and find out for you
and get them to give you a bell )
