vista -product key

[Guest]

hey im downloading the RC1 version of vista and wondering how long the
product key that you get lasts for before it becomes invalid and requires the
full version?

It lasts until May 31st 2007

Has been covered many, many times - beta versions expire June 1, 2007.

Current Beta and RC versions of Vista are set to time out around July 2007.

Run "winver" while you have Vista running.

It's that simple.

Check the email you received from Microsoft with the key in it, and
make sure you're typing it correctly - don't enter the hyphens as
Vista will fill those in automatically, just the letters/numbers. If
the key is correct and it still doesn't work, then call Microsoft and
ask for a new key to activate.
