Can I use Vista original key (license) to Windows 7 beta? Does it match? Can I activate Win 7 that way? Thx!? -

Unfortunately not. Windows 7 Beta 1 comes with an initial 30day trial period, however you can rearm to extend the trial period http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/11/06... LUG.

There are two different codes installed with Windows Cds or DVDs. One is the Product Key Code and the second is the OEM Serial Number Key Code that Identifies the CD that windows was loaded with. You can t use a Windows Product Key Code for some Other disc that was used.

Your current Windows Vista key will not work with Windows 7. At this time Windows 7 is only in beta and is only open to developers and what not. Wait a few more months and you should be able to get in on an open Windows 7 beta. Hope this information was helpful.
