not activate tells me I have to change key. I had the problem with the last
one but was able to call in and get it activated. Now it does not give me
the phone number to call in. Any help
Thanks

Re: Activation
For a start, go to Start, Control Panel, Welcome Center and check whichversion of Vista you are running. Most likely Ultimate, but best to check
anyway. Login to Connect/MSDN and check for where the keys are. Select
"Generate new key" and use the key of the version you are running. Business,
Home Basic and Ultimate all have different keys. After that, try activation
again.

Re: Activation
Well, ignore the Connect site and log into MSDN and obtain a new key,http://msdn.microsoft.com
You might also want to post this issue in the microsoft.public.msdn.general

Re: Activation
There is no product key area on the MSDN site I got my key in an email fromMicrosoft I got two keys from them one for client and the other for server.
I used the same key from 5270 and that one worked with 5270 and it was the
same key that I got in email now.

Activation
I was given a copy of the Feb CTP (Build 5308) at a Microsoft seminarrecently.
I have successfully installed, but haven't yet acrtivated as I may
wipe and reinstall on a new disk, however that may take longer than is
left for activaton - currently 13 days.
If I do go ahead and activate my present installation, will that
prevent me from reinstalling on a new disk when I eventually get one?
I may also upgrade my graphics card - is that likely to impact
activation?
Thanks
