I received from Microsoft a free copy of VS2008 Professional, which is cool. But when I went to install on Windows 7 Beta, it installs fine, but is marked as being "unregistered". I have my license key, but cannot get to where I can enter the key.

The deal was I had to DL the trial version and then do an upgrade. I was able to do this on Vista because I already had VS2008 Team installed and then just "switched" to the Professional version.

But on Windows 7 (may just be due to clean install), I cannot get the prompt to allow me to enter the serial number. When you install the trial, you only get a hardcoded trial serial number pre-entered.

The suggestion to use Programs and Features to amend the installation doesn't work as it does not give me the "upgrade / enter serial #" option as described.

Anyone else solve this?

I know I'm 89 days away, but I hate leaving this issues outstanding. :)

TIA!

**EDIT: This is NOT a software piracy question, but a valid legitimate issue. This works in Windows Vista, but not on Windows 7 -- so I'm hoping someone here has solved this issue. Thanks.**

***UPDATE: Wrote the PR Firm who was handling this for Microsoft and they are shipping me out the DVD later this week. Still this might prove valuable for someone else.***
