mendipjohn Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I don't think this is a serious crime but I downloaded Vista beta2 and have since lost the "product key".It only lets you use it until feb 07 and I just wanted to see what it looks like so does anyone have a beta key they could share by PM? theres no reason to feel guilty or anything since it isn't loosing MS money and damaging the industry etc etc pushing up licensing prices etc etcThanks.Just reading the Vista board rules:This is not a warez site! Links/Requests to warez and/or illegal material (porn, cracks, serials, etc..) will not be tolerated. Discussion of circumventing activation/timebombs will also not be tolerated. If you ignore any of the aforementioned you will receive a final warning. If you choose to continue, you will be banned without notice.Is my post going against these rules? My bad?

Albuquerque Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Yes, sorely against the rules. Asking for a product key that isn't yours = bad.I'd suggest you edit your post and just say "delete please" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mendipjohn Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Yes i did check e-mail. I was e-mailed when I signed up for Server 2003 RC2 with a key but for Vista Beta 2 and Office 2007 Beta 2 they just display the key onscreen and rely on you printing it or otherwise copying it down.I did print it but had some problems at the time. Now I'm having another go I can't find the key. I expect I recycled the paper away not expecting to try it. Since then MS have closed their evaluation programme.
