I've downloaded RC1, how do I sign up for cd key?

[Guest]

I got the download manager link off of toms hardware; and burnt the CD. is
there a link I can signup for a CD key and register RC1?

When the CPP reopens for new customers. Only customers who signed up for the
beta 2 release, activated and registered their copy can use their existing
beta 2 key right now to install Vista RC1.

You can install without a Key and work 14 days.
You can buy a Vista-DVD containing book to get a full key.
You can wait until MS is reopening CPP to new People.

You just confirmed in your latest post, its only available in German, and
its a BETA 2 release, not RC1 which the OP is requesting a key for.

Andre ,

Beta2 Keys do activate all Builds that followed Beta2.

Any legit Beta2 Key activates 5472, 5536 and 5600 . Verified, with more than
just one Key.

I have a Key from my Book, one from the Beta2-Evaluation Kit and two from
the CPP-Registering in June. Each of these Keys activates all the
Vista-Builds.

Believe Me.

That is if the OP is german.

Can you use the key from the (german) book to activate the US-English
version of Vista RC1 ?

YES.

I don't know what people thin what these keys do for a magic.
They activate your Windows. It has nothing do do with the language.

Pre-RC1 was english and I used my german keys as well as I have activated my
german Vista with another B2 Key and so forth..

Andre, the whole point is to get a Beta 2 PK, not an RC1 PK. It will just
work.
