...How did this happen? (activation code question)

Hi there!

I recently was sent a link by a friend showing me to the Vista RC1 download
site, and was told it was free until a certain date sometime next year. I
downloaded and installed it, finding that by entering nothing in the
activation code field while initially setting up Vista I did not need to
enter a code right away. Over the next few days I had multiple bubbles
telling me to activate Vista. I tried, but both online and phone registration
failed, of which the online registration told me my code was already in use
(I hadn't entered one!)

After much searching I find that I need to be part of MSND and the CPP to
recieve an activation code, but yet I was still able to download it. What can
I do? Are codes useable on more than one PC? Would anybody kindly send me
theirs, if it can be used on multiple PCs?

Thanks in advance, any help is very much appreciated.
 
You'll need to sign up for the new CPP within the next week or so, and you'll
receive a new key. They are good for installation on up to 10 machines each.
I only have fourr uses left, which I will need in the future. Sorry - hang
in there, you'll be fine when the new program launches
 
Noone needs to wait for CPP as the System actually works ( prove me wrong
... ) :

Get a Key here :

select location and go - sign up for a MS-Passport Account with a *valid*
Email, as the Key will be sent to this adress.Needs no msn or hotmail, any
mailadress will do it.
