Windows 7 key bound to DVD?

Ken is right... I think you are trying to use a RC key on a RTM build... It'll never work...

If it did work, a lot of users would be happy.

I have installed Windows 7 from a DVD from my friend. he deleted the ei.cfg-file but in the Setup i werent asked which version i want to install .. but the headline of th license-agreement said Ultimate x64 (what i wanted to install) ... so i went on! the installation worked and now i want to activate my licens but it doesnt work! it says that the key is no real key! i have controlled the key several times and it is the right i got and i am sure (120%) that the key is for Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) german!
I dont know what to do ... is it possible that the key is bound to the dvd?

Is it remotely possible that the iso is 7100_RC (no longer available for DL) ?

Which allows installation, since:

but the "On-line Activation" won't work, since its no longer officially 'available for DL'....
Just my 2 ¢

If you ment that you can not activate Windows 7 RC, I believe you still can. They only removed the ability to download it, not activate it.

Though the question here is where did the key being used come from. :|

Lotta people would like to know that, especially since he 'controlled it' several times. :)

He has yet to tell us which w7 version, though..
