cd key error

I registered for the CPP with Vista Beta 2......I received the CD Key in my email and printed it out.....I later forund out that I downloaded the wrong version (64-bit) and was advised to download the 32-bit version on the thread....now that I have the right version I am receiving an "invalid cd-key" prompt during the install? Do I need a new cd-key for the 32-bit? If so, how do I obtain it?

Good luck getting a key. The CPP program closed on 30 June 06 and are not giving out any more keys. "TimSoule" wrote in message

Do not have an answer to your problem, but it was my understanding that the keys were the same for both versions, x32/64.

I ordered the DVD versions and was provided 1 CD key for both DVDs (one is the x86 and the other is x64)

Same key works for both versions. Be sure you are entering the key correctly, sometimes B looks like 8, etc...

hi im running the 32-bit ver on my pc but i have a 64-bit processor would a mutual swap of dvd with 64-bit ver iso +the key you received swapped for eg my 32-bit ver iso + my key be a practical solution and is there any reason why this would not work

Totally unnecessary. The key you were supplied works on both x86 and x64 versions of Vista Beta 2.
