Installing Win7 RC In Virtualbox - Invalid Product Key
I am having trouble installing win7 rc (32-bit) on virtual box 2.2.2 running under windows XP pro sp2 (32-bit). I keep getting "The produict key is not valid" error. Can anyone help with this? I am doing a custom clean install on a 20gb virtual partition using 1024mb ram. I am using a virtual image of 7100.0.090421-1700_x86fre_client_en-us_retail_ultimate-grc1culfrer_en_dvd.iso to do the installation and tried burning the dvd with nero and winiso always getting the same result. This machine did pass the windows 7 upgrade advisor test.

Product Key Error - Invalid Key For This Version Of Windows
Just successfully installed Win 7(RC) on a partition I created on a Vista(32-bit) Home Premium machine,so now I've set up a dual-boot. Anyways,as I am going to enter the product key that was given with my download it's giving me an "invalid key for this version of Windows" error. And along the process of identifying the cause,I realized I've installed a "Home Premium" version of the RC download;is this how it's supposed to be? This RC,a Home Premium version? Just want to verify because on the Computer's property page it's saying it's only a "30-day eval copy". How am I going to get another product key for this version of th RC?For what I've read through forums,this RC is supposed to be an Ultimate version? Anybody?

Dell Studio 17 Invalid Product Key
Brand new dell studio 17 with Windows 7 home premium (1 month) now shows invalid product key and I can't activate it. I have a brand new laptop from dell (studio 17 - 64bit) with Windows 7 home premium which was working fine for about a month. Now the machine tells me I have an non-genuine version of Windows 7 and when I try to activate it, it tells me I have to buy a new license? Any ideas and yes, I know I can slmgr -rearm, but it's a legal copy and dell says it's M/S's problem.

Upgrade From Win XP / Vista To Win7: Product Key Language Version
We currently run 3 PCs at home (all 32 bit): PC 1: German Windows Vista Home Premium PC 2 & 3: English Windows XP Home I'd like to purchase the Windows 7 family pack (English) to upgrade all of the PCs (clean install preferred). Questions: 1. Can all 3 PCs be upgraded to the English version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit with the family pack, despite the different language versions? 2. When performing a clean install, is it sufficient to enter the product key of the previously installed system when using the upgrade disk/key or is the old system required on the harddisk? 3. Just to confirm: The family pack comes with both, the 32 bit and 64 bit version for Windows 7 Home Premium?

Help With Activation Code : Invalid Key
i recently installed the RC of windows 7 ultimate. the version is like 7600 er sumthin i dunno. im pretty computer savvy but everytime i generate a key from microsoft it says it is an invalid key and refuses to activate. any help with this would be great. also, i installed the rc about a month after the downloads stopped, so i dont know if that would have caused the issue...and i installed the it via an iso image mounted onto a virtual drive, so it dont know if that would have also contributed to this.

Product Key Does Not Match
I am loading windows7 64bit basic on an atom PC with a solid state drive. Getting a message "product key does not match current windows sku" at the end of the install. This is my 2nd attempt to load windows7 basic on this PC. I have downloaded the ISO from MSDN, used IMGBURN to burn the DVD. Used two different dvd drives. Get the same invalid product key message each time. I was able to load another PC with Windows7 from this same DVD. The difference being I loaded 64bit Windows7 ultimate. Another difference is I am using a USB dvd drive to load the Atom PC. I have tried 2 different product keys issued from the MSDN site. Each time I do the install I delete existing partitions. why is my product key not being accepted?Â

Acquiring New Product Key
" Meanwhile, RC's downloads are still available. You can get the release candidate download until August 20, 2009. After that, you won't be able to get the download, but if you have the software, you can still install the RC and get a key if you need one. (Keys will be available till March 2010. To get a key, just go to the Downloads page and follow the instructions.) "This from " Microsoft (Microsoft@newsletters.microsoft.com) Sent:29 July 2009 02:48:54 I ran the beta, and then the release candidate 7100, from April or May '09.The x64 Ultimate, But during November I started getting repeated Shutdown & restarts, and Blue Screens, and eventually traced the problems to my MB's USB Controller.On 31/12/2009, I bought a cheap BCS MB with an AMD Athlon 3200+ pre-installed (the same processor that was in my original 2004 box!); and rebuilt, using my old memory, PSU, Hard drives and PCI Cards etc. I couldn't find my original disk on which I had written my code no.; so I installed Vista x64, found my original ISO on my USB backup drive, burnt it, reformatted and re-installed RC 7100.Everthing is working fine. Better than my original installation.   My son will be getting a bunch of Win7 Ultimates in March, and I would like to keep this OS running until then.Can you point me to where the promised activation keys are held, otherwise I will have to get "Windows 7 HomePremium".

Product Key Registration
Great Problem providing Product Key registration. After 32 attempts I have had to give up. Frustrated, following all the shown options. Copy and paste tells me that it may take a few minutes - then up comes timed out. Phone dial up takes me to a French speaking automated system, trying the UK numbers given will not allow me entry. I do not have a suitable modem connection! I do not wish to lose this probably best Microsoft ever system.

No Product Key Needed
I have just done a clean install from vista to win 7 using a upgrade version of win 7 hp, following the tutorial off this site, but when doing the install it didn't ask me for the product key or if i wanted to activate win 7, any one else had this happen, do i need to do anything. When i look at system page it shows a product key that doesn't match the one in the box & there is a button that asks if i want to change the product key, it also states i have 30 days to activate win 7.
