Windows 7 Official Public Beta

[atleeit]

A very good point thealexweb, there are other ways to activate Windows 7 ;). I'll let you work out the rest. :p

Hynesy you are right there are other way, but if you want to be a beta tester then submitting stuff to Microsoft, the best way is to do everything legit, byt the books.

Guys, is the script for giving out keys down? i tried it before and it worked (with an error though). I've tried it now and it gives me a search error.

[atleeit]

So I only need a 64 bit key?

Still don't have that though LOL

Yes that is right, keep trying it does work

Like i said i'm the silly one whos been trying since 6:30am till now 11:25pm australia time, but i have accomplished my goal, 2 keys, 1 for me and one for backup :)

Thats correct man, we do hard work in these forums lol once they have their key they will be gone, i'm a beta tester so i will test software and help people on this forum :)

I shall not vanish :p I got 2 keys, 1 for backup. i'm all good to goto sleep now.

Ahh your lucky, I'm from australia aswell and I haven't had any luck at all with getting a key,

If anyone has an extra 64-Bit key, I would absolutely love one. Yesterday I spent the whole day trying, and it looks like I am getting nowhere today either.

Thanks in advance!

Been spending 3 hours trying, at least I spent them 3 hours playing Oblivion while the script has around with 10 tabs is up.

Does anyone have any 64-bit build mirrors?

Check out this article from Whirlpool. Seems to be successful and it means you can go to bed and have a key waiting for you when you wake up. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/wiki/?tag=Windows7

Still nothing.... I managed to go to sleep and wake up and still nothing, I would have thought that by now they would have made it working....

But hey, I got a letter from em regarding Windows 7, it was about "thanx for applying for beta testing but servers are currently down so wait....." :/

the phone activation doesn't seem to be an option, only online activation

Isn't this the same as c4c? Using c4c my links always get redirected after a little while

Remember guys " Your product key will work for up to three separate computers, so if you want to install the Windows 7 Beta on another PC, you can re-use the same key."

Take a look at this. Although that is for Vista, it seems to be the exact same method. Works as others have confirmed.

The important part is to enter some random 15-digit key during the install process. Then, after installing it will come out as invalid key with the phone option available.
