Vista RTM and Invail Key

[g0nk]

I have been beta testing Windows Vista for a while now, currently running
Build 5744.

I got an email from MS saying thank you, and click here to download a free
copy of the RTM with a retail key.

I downloaded the ISO burned it, and am trying to install the new RTM and it
is saying my Activation Key is invalid. I first used the key I had for 5744,
and that didnt work, so I requested a new key via MSConnect, and then tried
that. Still that one did not work as well..

Is there something I'm missing? Has anyone ran into this problem?

To my knowledge, the RTM keys were not up yet on MS Connect. Just install
without it for now.

I was told within 7 days, but who cares, Vista will still run without
product key for 30 days.
