If I'm not wrong, I thought that they stopped support for Windows Anytime Upgrade...?

emmmm……but It seems that WUA is still available…No matter with beta if it not.

Nope, it's been stopped on Vista and 7. Dunno about 8 though.

One, you don't really need WAU on 6469, it's an unstaged build. Just use the Vista RTM keys when setup asks you to provide one.

Two, I remember upgrading 6730 to Ultimate myself using a product key. I'll try it again later and see how it goes.

Thanks.I'd like to know if you were upgrades and more details.

Use this key when running Anytime Upgrade on 6730, and you'll end up with Ultimate: [nope]

Use this key when running Anytime Upgrade on 6730, and you'll end up with Ultimate: [insert key here]

I don't think you can share keys on the site.

I thought that rule only applied to RTM keys, which this isn't. This is a key that only works for builds around this period IIRC. If I'm wrong, somebody please notify me and I'll remove it.

Where exactly is this stated besides this topic? Searching for bits of the bold returns no such thing, only some posts from <= 2010 at best. There's no mention of this in the rules either. I feel like members have come to a mutual agreement that as long as the key is not designed for a final product and it cannot activate a product, thus only be used for either proceeding with installation or upgrades -- just like above, there should be no issue.

If you for whatever reason really want to enforce this rather pointless rule, maybe modify past posts accordingly? Searching for the good old TCP8W gives me 48 results

Pointless or not, it's still a rule we enforce. Since we can't in every circumstance prove or disprove that a particular key is indeed a valid and public key (because it's shared doesn't mean it's legally public) we simply take the safe road and disallow any keys unless you can prove it's a public beta key.

There may be older posts with the key, posts that were made before the rule was enforced, but that doesn't mean the rule is invalid or can be ignored. We have these rules to protect us.

But please, prove to us that the particular key is a valid beta key and we will allow that key and add it to a post specifically designed to list all valid and shareable beta keys.
