    Hi there
    no it's totally for unrestricted public use -- no keys or activation required.

    Cheers

    I would try both older alphas and 8102 if I were you, just to give a better idea of what is changing

    Sometimes second or third install actually might ask for a key and they are available from MS. It is of course for unrestricted public use but will time out (hopefully after beta is released)
