Windows 7 Official Public Beta

[atleeit]

I did it by hand. 5 minutes..

i think everyone is bluffing!

[Crenshaw]

Just woke up. What's new?

[david]

How many computers can I use this key with?

[hoosier28]

I've heard 10 too.

[JacoL]

Earlier this morning, you could easily get it. But most didn't know and were at their work/school.

Now, its either C4C or you have to wait until the servers are fixed.

[primexx]

I've heard 10

isn't it 3??

does anyone have a definitive source on how many times you could activate on the same computer? (install, reinstall)

[Gamerhomie]

I've been trying for over 5 hours, I'm really tired. It's 2:47 AM. I tried refreshing, multi tab refreshing, using C4C, whatever. Microsoft should have just put it on an official torrent and should have been ready for the onslaught. This isn't the first time. Happens every time with some kind of new update. Finally got it right with the NXE though I got in the third wave.

Hopefully this isn't all over tomorrow. Goodnight.

Wow 10 days? I don't think I would have that kind of patience!

[markyl85]

so u just set c4c to check every so many seconds.. then it stops once its got an update? t wnt refresh past that will it?

[atleeit]

does C4C stop when it doesnt pick up the error word no more? so i will get my key or will it refresh over the top before i get to see it?

[david]

Is it 3 or 10?????????????

[hoosier28]

That is correct.

[devize]

It stops once whatever you highlighted isn't in the refreshed page, so if you have the error thing highlighted and it changes then it'll stop and it will play a song or something lol but no you won't lose your key

[markyl85]

its just sed C4C i navigating away...!! my heart jumped... but went to a bloomin error page!

is it best to have say 6 checks on the go?

[callummr]

If using C4C, should we be checking the error text on https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pr...us/default.aspx?

I hope so, or I've just wasted a lot of time ><

(I'm going for a 64bit key)

[nick8181]

well i just left it. our life sucks over here . so i do what i can do. really hope somebody can help

[devize]

Well for me when I have it running at 1 second intervals it goes quick enough but I still have 6 open (3 32 bit and 3 64 bit) just because I need to try anything to get one, maybe by the time microsoft fixes everything this forum will hit 1000 pages haha
