CD Key Error

Posted: 07-04-2006, 06:20 AM
I registered for the CPP with Vista Beta 2......I received the CD Key in my
email and printed it out.....I later forund out that I downloaded the wrong
version (64-bit) and was advised to download the 32-bit version on the
thread....now that I have the right version I am receiving an "invalid
cd-key" prompt during the install? Do I need a new cd-key for the 32-bit?
If so, how do I obtain it?

Good luck getting a key. The CPP program closed on 30 June 06 and are not
giving out any more keys.

Do not have an answer to your problem, but it was my understanding that the
keys were the same for both versions, x32/64.

I ordered the DVD versions and was provided 1 CD key for both DVDs (one is
the x86 and the other is x64)

Same key works for both versions. Be sure you are entering the key
correctly, sometimes B looks like 8, etc...

Totally unnecessary. The key you were supplied works on both x86 and x64
versions of Vista Beta 2.
