778555 2009-05-31 03:34:00 Anyone had success in registering their RC1 install? Disk had a label on the back telling me to go to technet.microsoft.com . This pops out to technet.microsoft.com(en-us).aspx with no way (seemingly) to register. Quiet (8950)
778556 2009-05-31 03:53:00 Go to the bottom, where it says 32 or 64 bit, select the language, then login with a hotmail account. Voila there's your key. Thats if you mean activate (if you want a key) not register Speedy Gonzales (78)
778557 2009-05-31 04:04:00 Speedy solution there and 100% correct.

It may not be obvious that you need to go to the download page to get a key as you already have a DVD with the O/S on it.

Print the key for future reference.

I have both the 64 and 32 bit versions and as this is a release candidate it is not yet the final version.

You have 30 days to activate it, then after 30 days it expires & you longer can use it.
