Windows 8 Developer Preview Available for Download - Windows 8

Yesterday Microsoft has shown a whole new set of features at Build Conference including the App store, Internet Explorer 10 Preview 3, XBOX Live integration. Above all Microsoft has announced that Windows 8 Developer preview would be available for download at around 8 PM PDT. Windows 8 Developer preview includes 64-bit (x64) build with development tools to build apps, and a 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) build without development tools. The releases also include a suite of sample applications.

Yeah, but what are the product keys ? I downloaded the ISO, extracted it to a USB drive, and ran setup, but it wants a product key, and I can't find it anywhere. Anyone ???

More information? buddy, Windows 8 Developer Preview just comes out, people all do research on it. So at this time, no more information. Maybe you can find more information half a month later.

The current build available for download (at least the Developer Preview x64) does not need activation.

I recently downloaded the Windows 8 Developer Preview (x64) and was asked for the product key. The product key given on website does not work. (6RH4V-HNTWC-JQKG8-RFR3R-36498)

Help??

Hi buddy,

Microsoft gave two keys for them, please kindly check out Microsoft official site for more information. The key you showed may have been locked down. You can search a new one.

I've been looking on all the forums and answers community but haven't seen any new ones. Have they been updated since the first activation keys were released?

I'm quite baffled. I downloaded the version from MSDN and have done clean installs on two computers without ever being asked for any key.

I am as well...
I downloaded from MDSN and followed the steps on the screen but end up with a window asking for it. I've tried re-downloading several times but all with the same result...
