Windows XP 64-bit CD Key

[spazzmattah]

I downloaded Win XP 64-bit from MS. During install it asked for CD KEy!!! What should I use?

[Turd Furguson]

Well every time I went to download it they asked for my CC so I dunno what to tell you. But I will try again to see what is up.

[Turd Furguson]

Oh wow I can finally download it. I am not sure about the CD key. I will have to burn a copy tomorrow and see if it will install.

[spazzmattah]

I went to download it. I only need to give them my name and address and email. I used fake name and addr, but real email. Here's what I got in the email. I tried using that Order ID for CD KEy but it's 26 char, CD Key asks for 25. I tried dropping the last 5 and first D, still no work. I think I'm going to call MS. Anyone else have a solution?

Did you recieve the other e-mail? When I downloaded their trial of Windows 2003, one of the emails contained the product key to use just below the download link. While they provide you with one in the email you have up there, the key may be in another one.

BTW: I realize you probably didn't mean anything by it (just a copy/paste of your e-mail), but Microsoft has you register for a reason, so I've removed the link to the ISO in your post.

If you choose to register to download the software (http://microsoft.order-9.com/winxp64/handoff.asp?id=dl), be aware that you will not receive the product CD. The downloadable product software is available in English only.

When you register to download the product software, Microsoft will send you an e-mail message with download instructions.

After you have completed the download registration process, you will receive an e-mail message with a link to the download page. On the download page, you will see a link to the Setup file and a Product Key for the software you wish to install. The file will be in ISO format and must be burned to a CD (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/evaluation/trial/isotocd.mspx) before you can install the software on your computer.

The download files are large (approximately 450 megabytes) so the download may take a considerable time to complete. Microsoft recommends only those with broadband, ADSL or other high-speed Internet connections attempt this download.

Same here. I never received the 2nd email with the CD Key. This is frustrating!

[Turd Furguson]

Sorted through the CD and did NOT see a key.

Have you tried contacting MS Customer Service?

Have you tried contacting MS Customer Service?

Yes, first thing they asked for was my credit card number and that I would be charged $35. Screw this $hist. I'm downloading Linux, I just want to play with a 64 bit OS with my new Athlon 64.

download. Please use the following product key when installing the

So, jsut reply to the email stating you didnt recieve your product key and they will send one.

[Turd Furguson]

Hmmm........thanks for the heads up. I installed a secondary copy on my system but I am trying to track down a network driver before I can get online. Everything boots up as SP1 installed with all my hardware recognized. I was shocked.

[spazzmattah]

Thanks! I just checked my email and I got the same email with CD KEY. I also replied to the original email on Wed. I guess I don't hate MS so much now. Win64 is installing as I type, woohoo......

[spazzmattah]

Oh yeah!

[hawtrawkr]

yeah i received a key in email today as well and have os installed for some reason it wont let me download flash or use windows updater though

Same here. I haven't tried Flash, but Windows updater doesn't seem to work. It always says Right click on "Windows Update" and run as Administrator, but when I do that I still get the same message.

[Griffeycom]

I've googled and there is no Flash Plugin for the 64Bit IE Browser. If you use the 32Bit Browser (Included) you can use flash just fine. And for the windows update I found this:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;316524

But I still havent gotten it to work as of now...

[hawtrawkr]

someone mentioned to me that the preview program doesnt use windows updater and that you just need whole new build for updates not sure how much validity there is to this or no.

[alien dork]

is there another version of 64 coming out at the end of august? i don know if i should reinstall windows 64 or wait for the newer version to come out.

[nartac]

I registered and got an email with cd key. You guys didn't get that with your email?

[spazzmattah]

I registered and got an email with cd key. You guys didn't get that with your email?

Nope. After I registered they sent me one email with the link to download. That was it. There was no CD Key in that original email and I never got any other email. Then I replied to the orginal email asking for CD Key to use, then 2 days later they sent me the CD Key. It took several days, but the wait was excruciating.

[Stratus_ss]

lol well good luck with that... its against the forum rules to do anything illegal and well that definately would violate something in the EULA

[thideras]

Can you send me some cd key for me.I would appreciate it.ThanksNo, we can't. Please delete your email link in your post.

[mwnxdotnet]

Not that I ever would, but you should probably always buy microsoft products physically. They are notorious for this kind of stuff. Sure you save a few bucks online, but you save SO much more grief just going to office depot or walmart!
