When trying to install the 64bit beta version it asked me for a product Id,
which is supposed to located in the email for the download link. I am unable
to locate the product key code... can anyone help?

Were you also given a private newsgroup for Beta testers of XP64? That would
be the proper place to ask questions like this. Product Keys are a
security/anti-piracy feature and they aren't embedded in the files, so
nobody here could give you a place to look for it on the files.

Worst case, contact the parties that sent you the Email to get them to send
you your PK.-

I received the Product Key in the same email that provided me the
link from which to download it. However, yours seems to have become a
common question. If you visit the privatenews.microsoft.com server and
the microsoft.private.windowsserver_64bit newsgroup (the username and
password were provided to everyone authorized to do the download),
you'll find the Product Key posted several times a day.
