Windows Vista Build 5381 Ultimate

[kcnychief]

As long as you have a legit product key with Vista, you shouldn't have any activation problems. I think 5342 was the build, although I'm not entirely sure, that had activiation problems around the first few days to a week of it's release. Those problems have since been fixed.

What issues are you running into when trying to activate?

OK, two things.

1 - Do NOT post a product key for any software in any section in the forum. I have removed the product key from your post for you.

2 - Please try not to post so closely together. That is the second time within the last few minutes you have posted twice within a minute of eachother. Try to use the "edit" button, which will let you continue a thought and add to your post. I have merged your posts for you as well.

As I said before, if your product key is legit you should have no problems. If you are an OFFICIAL Microsoft Beta tester, as in YOU downloaded Vista from http://connect.microsoft.com, and obtained a VALID product key, you won't have an issue. If you are receiving that message, that means the key you are using was either purposely or maliciously used by someone else. If you have access to Connect (as referenced above), you have the option to request more keys.

Else, wait for the PUBLIC release on May 23rd (thereabouts), and try again. We cannot provide support for software that is not legally obtained.

There will be an ISO download, obvioulsy and probably an option to order a DVD with it on (possibly paying for shipping)

from all the new drivers that are to be in beta 2 and the ones that are in the latest build i think both will be moving to DVD9, right now its just the 64bit one that is but the 32 is getting close. but for some reason the new one will not install on my turion, the others did but this one wont. a little wierd.
