Vista - Product Key Question

I originally got Beta 2 on DVD as part of the CPP. I know I'll eventually get
RC1 the same way. But if I'm too impatient to wait, can I download RC1 and
use the same Product Key I got with the DVD, or are there different keys for
the DVDs and the downloads?

Thanks.

Yes the Beta 2 product key will work. You can also install without a
product key. It will run for 14 days.
