Ha! Got one! :) Took me around 30 minutes. Also thanks for this C4C thingy, this could be handy sometimes.

Hi All,

Found this site while looking for info on Windows 7 keys etc.

Anyway just wanted to say I used C4C and 1 tab and within 1 second I had one hundred keys! Couldnt believe it.

Lol, nah just joking, no luck with any method, but I feel the need to rush and get a key maybe eased a little if what I read from Brandon LeBlanc's blog made sense. He never said it but reading into it, I bet they have removed the 2.5 million key limit.

Anyway just wanted to say hi, off to check out the other forums now here at Neowin.

OH THANK GOODNESS!!!

After 12 hours, my key has FINALLY arrived!

Thanks to the guy who suggested C4C, and to all the tips and encouragements from other Neowinians!

I've been sent a key by a very kind soul :) thank you !

how did you get it activated by telephone.

[claneksi]

so what happens when c4c finds an update?

Well, it says something was changed in one of my tabs :huh: . Voila, there's picture of a key with 25 code beside it... :p

Any way to remove the watermark from the desktop?

I've got mine using Firefox and http://reloadevery.mozdev.org/

Updated 64bit page every 10 secs and took like 3 minutes to recieve key.

Offcourse was logged in like every one else who got the key ;)

There, got a second key, for x64 this time (even if they activate both on x86 and x64), so I'm fine for now, you've got less 3 less C4C spamming tabs :p

I should point out that Windows 7 installed fine for me without a key. When the enter your key dialog comes up just click OK. You will get a 30 day grace period in which you have to enter a key and activate -- hopefully MS have sorted the key delivery issues out by then.

You can re-arm the 30 grace 3 x anyways to give you a total of 120 days before you need to activate it.

lol but you cannot do it by phone, i can show you my windows activated to, but i dont say i did it by phone lol

[Dilligaf2008]

Sweet, I just got a key. After about 4 hours of non-stop refreshing of 7 tabs (4 32bit tabs, 3 64bit tabs), it finally gave me a 64bit Win7 Beta key.

To all those people not having any success: just keep trying, you'll be given a key soon enough :D
