Finally got a few keys. Thanks for offering a key Hoosier28 but I actually went to sleep, I was too cranky. :p

One question, are these unique keys given to each account or can someone today possible get the same key and activate it before me. I've been reading some comments on how some people's keys are an exact duplicate but I haven't gotten any of those.

No problem. Everyone was cranky last night. :D

I get 0x80070017 (iirc) during the Expanding Files process. I looked it up and it seems like people had that problem with Vista too. Some said they fixed it by slowing the burn speed when they burn the disc.

-Spenser

I burned at 2.4x and again at 4x... meh

One of my keys is unique apparently, the others are identical to what has been posted. The skies open up and the angels cry.
Get over yourself, each key has unlimited activations.

Umm, that was a joke. I love how sensitive some people are and how much stress this beta is putting on them. :rofl:

I got a beta key from DClark last night, but now I'm getting multiple ones from the official Windows 7 site, all on the same Live account and all from the various 64-bit links.

So people are saying the ones you get now from the official MS Windows 7 site are all the same for everyone? Like, the same 10 or so beta keys? If so, won't those keys be invalid because they're already used?

Hello, There is a complete list of all keys for 32 and 64 bit Windows 7 public beta over at Tech Power Up forums. Also to those getting corrupted image errors, it is probably the browser/download manager you used. I used MSN Explorer download manager the first time. 5 hours and a wasted DVD later I downloaded using Internet Explorer and burned a perfect DVD.!

you know the keys that were obtained with the workaround before? were they unique keys? why are some people looking up these keys on google? Some people also claimed that when they used their key, Windows shows an error message saying it was not a unique key

I feel that if you really like Vista already, you should stick with Vista for now, the Beta really isn't worth installing yet. I have an ultraportable (1.33ghz), and it runs much faster and fluid on Vista than on Win7 Beta. My Vista is highly tweaked and worked great.

no they won't be invalid as Microsoft seems to have let them free and save itself the hassle of giving away too many keys and managing them at the Beta stage....where feedback is much more important than the PC where it is coming from.....

I would not say this, Windows 7 out performs Vista with Tweaks

I got a unique key but thats cause i did it yesterday. Unique keys were only given out yesterday and early this morning using the workaround. Now everyone has the same 10. Does that sum it up for everyone?

If you used a activation patch before using these keys you will get the key invalid message because 2 files have been changed token.dat, pkeyconfig-xrm files which need to be replaced back to their original state, then the keys from MS will work :)

Ya but their the same 10 everyone else has trust me.

I dont think so :)

I didn't know anything about keys until I read the list of keys in a post about 15 minutes ago. I didn't have a key until about twenty minutes ago. Right after I activated my 32bit installation, with a key from Tech Net, some guy posts all the keys for the whole Circus!

So I finally windows 7 ultimate x64 installed on a late 2008 macbook pro. I've having a bit of problems with the drivers. But fortunately I got the drivers for the graphics card to work. I decided to install the vista 64bit version of the drivers and to my amazement it works. :). So now I'm going to see if I can get the isight drivers working on it and the trackpad drivers to work as well. Wish me luck.

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
