Product Keys

Is anyone else experiencing a problem where you request a key for various
flavors of Windows Vista Beta 2 but can only receive the Home Basic Key? Is
this a glitch or is Microsoft intentionally restricting the keys to Vista
Ultimate?

I get an application error. I guess it is overloaded ?
