OBTAIN WINDOWS VISTA PRODUCT KEY

[Guest]

I was downloaded Windows Vista beta 2 in Microsoft server when there was
available to all people.
Now I want to install the program and don’t know where I can obtain the
product key.
Is anybody who can help me?

The product key was mailed to you. It is towards the bottom of the email.

You lost your product key? What a tragedy. Sorry, but I can't send out
product keys. I know it is just a beta... but I don't need Microsoft looking
at me funny. With WGA and all that good stuff, I don't need to be on anyone's
watch list.

As for the original poster... seems apparent that they didn't go throught
the whole process of signing up, just used a direct link to the download.
Very unfortunate because it was a very simple process.

Sorry, but I just can't do it.

If you lost your key for build 5472, my guess is that your either on TAP,
Connect, MSDN or TechNet. If your on one of those services, try logging on
and request a key if you do not have it or have lost it.

i lost" 4 hours to this problem and found the answer elsewhere.

When you subscribed, you saw a page that displayed the product key, then
filled out a passport sign-up. I printed mine but recieved ureade garbage.
Search your Outlook for a message from "service @microsoft.com". The product
key is there at the bottom as Colin has been suggesting

Sign up to be either a MSDN OS Level Tester, or a Microsoft Tech Net Plus
Tester, and you will get access to not only Windows Vista Beta 2 and Windows
Server Code Name Long Horn Beta 2, but also Windows Vista Build 5472 as
well.

Some people just don't have enough sense to take precautions in case
of such losses, apparently.

I printed out my notification from Microsoft, and put it in my files,
and purchased the DVD, so that I would be sure to have records of the
Key. I still have the original copies of Beta 2 and RC1 and RC2 of XP
on my shelves, as well as the Office XP Beta, and the Office 2003 beta
kit. In addition, I also saved a copy of the notification email and
put it in a folder in my Outlook PST (it's now several years old, I am
sure), which I back up regularly. I have so many records of product
keys from so many people most of them are not even usable anymore. But
for some reason, I won't go through them and weed out the unusable
ones. I have been called "anal retentive" by my therapist (and
others) on a number of occasions.

I'm sure many others still have original copies of MS DOS 1.0 hanging
around. (I'm not THAT anal retentive, however--they went the way of
all floppies I owned some time ago, which is to say, my OWN "Recycle
Bin" (the garbage can). They might be worth a little money, now, but
I kind of doubt it.

Do you have a paid subscription to MSDN?

 

[Guest]

I only know that to authenticate a subscription I must have benefit access
number, subscriber ID, or MSPP partner ID. But don’t know how to get.
The link is

When you downloaded this product you have two opprotunities to get the
product key. Once on the download page in the yellow field in the middle or
by the confirming email that microsoft sent to the email address you
provided. I printed the download page but the product key did not print
out, the yellow product key field came out of the printer blank. So I
still had the email from microsoft. It came from: (e-mail address removed)
and was titled: "Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 2 Order Confirmation and
Product Key"
