I installed from the DVD, but was not prompted for a product key.
Now, I get a watermark on the desktop and when I enter the settings screen, it tells me its not activated and will expire tomorrow! I copied down the product keys -- but can't find a way to change them. When I click the Activate "button" in the top-left of the Control Panel screen, nothing happens.
Can't figure out how to get the old "Computer" screen back which used to have a link for changing the product key.
Update: I saw an MS KB article that said to run Windows Update. I did that and it found 15 updates. Am downloading and installing them now.
Update: OMG -- I just NOW noticed this says Developer Preview! I'm going to blow this away and reinstall from scratch.
