Lost CD-Key !!!

Guest

Two months ago, I downloaded the official Vista Beta 2 (Both 32 & 64 Bit
addition) from Microsoft website.
Pre the download I received an email from Microsoft which probably including
the required CD-Key's.
I lost that email!
I own a Microsoft Live ID.
Does someone please know how to request the CD-Key's again??
Is there an address which I can send email to asking those CD-Key's again?

Yes, the email that you received from Microsoft did indeed include the cd
keys below the download links.
No, there is no procedure for having them resent.

You will have to wait for RC1 to be released, at which time you will receive
another email. This time, make sure that you either print out the email, or
resort to that old failsafe, the pen and paper, and write down the keys ;)

You cannot. However, you will have another opportunity when RC1 releases in
a few weeks. No date has been given by MS.

There's no official procedure, but it can be done. if you've still got the
public Beta Installed.

The procedure is identical to how one does it in Windows XP.

There are a number of programs that will retrieve the key for you.

The following programs were written for XP and below but they work just fine
with Vista. I tried them both.

Sorry for the dupe posts. I kept getting error messages. That's becuase I
was trying to post to the group and email the author. But he doesn't have a
valid email address. Windows Mail doesn't make that obvious.

But then, it is a descendant of Outlook Express....
