Can be done, have tried it and it works.
There are two files in RC2 that you copy into 5840 and then it lets you use
your RC2 key.

I have a dumb question about build 5840 and a troll. It looks like
Outlook Express replaced Windows Mail by using alt/enter. No need to reply.
 
LOL-good trick too btw, Dennis.

1) Browse to "X:\Windows\System32\Licensing\pkeyconfig" folder, right-click
"pkeyconfig.xrm -ms", open property, click

Security > Advanced > Owner > Edit > Administrators. Click OK and close
property. Reopen property, click Security >

Advanced > Edit > Double-Klick Administrators > click Full Control, click OK
the close property.

2) Replace "pkeyconfig.xrm -ms" using file of same name copied from same
place in RC2.

3) Right-click Computer > Manage , Click Services and Applications >
Services, find "Software Licensing" and stop it.

4) Input
"X:/Windows/ServiceProfiles/NetworkService/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/SoftwareLicensing"
in
address bar, take ownership and full control of "Tokens.dat" using the same
way. (X is your Vista 5840 partition. For example:

mine is C:\ )

5) Replace "Tokens.dat" using the Tokens.dat copied from RC2.

6) Restart Windows Vista, you will be prompted "Your Windows licence have
been changed". Now you can input your RC key

to activate Windows Vista 5840!


Please restart Vista after activation. You can see the expired time of
evaluation copy "07/6/1" in winver, because you are using

the 5744 licence.

This does work.

"1st ya post;not usin Vista AT ALL; then ya post using UNDEAD desktop.

Like I said WHY do you insist I posted while NOT using Vista?
And what's with the UNDEAD desktop?
I posted using What?
For your info I posted using Windows Mail in Vista 5840.
Same as I am using right now.
Also for your info I found out how to do it on another site where there is a
link to a screenshot of activated 5840(not doctored/retouched/fake).
You tell me where I can upload a screenshot and I will.
