OK for those who got it working, talk us through what you did.

What page you signed into, with what you signed into with and then the process after that.

1. Sign into Live Account

2. Go to the Technet Windows 7 CPP site (it was still up at the time)

3. Choose English, click x64 button

4. ((Green Circle loading thinggy)) -> Fill out a short survey, they want to know your occupation, etc.

5. Upon submitting you get redirected to the keys site at profile.microsoft.com

6. ((Repeated F5 presses since 12:30pm PST)) Server Busy

7. Key displayed on the page. It's now 5:35pm PST

8. Jubilation ensues.

Woot i just got mine.. from doing this

http://blog.hznet.nl/2009/01/10/how-to-rec...-windows-7-key/

WOOT WOOT

and used firefox.

I didnt even get an error. Went right to it.

Worked here too, 64-bit was right away.

Thanks!

BTW I didn't fiill out any forms or anything, I just got a new live ID a couple hours ago.

Just got it to work. I managed to get through most of the form (when it was working) on Technet hours and hours ago. Refreshing the 64bit version of the key pages mentioned finally gave me the key.

Now, the fun is trying to get the silly download to work. I dread to think how much bandwidth I've wasted today getting to about 500meg through the download only to have it cancel on me. Flashget isn't any better, either.

I just got a 64-bit key! Wow what luck. I just followed what this link said, posted by a previous poster: http://blog.hznet.nl/2009/01/10/how-to-rec...-windows-7-key/

I didn't get any luck refreshing at the 32-bit, but first try on 64-bit and I got it!

WOW that **** actually worked.. For those of you trying to use the 32 bit method.. I did that FOREVER.. and it didnt work.. But the first time I did the 64 bit method it worked perfect..

Instructions I followed was here

If you get that error you are good to go, just keep typing in that link... If you look at the screenshot you see I have a bookmark called beta.. I just created a new bookmark called beta directing to https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/sc...w&LCID=1033

Just keep pressing that thing until you get the popup that shows

    • Fun fact: There are more Warhammer 40k games than there are stars in the universe.
    • laughing is tedious. Elephants really are laughing lazy, y'all..
    • Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.
    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
