Vista - product key

I found the link
http://download.windowsvista.com/pre...6/download.htm through a
google search and am downloading from there. When trying to find out about
the product key I go to the windows vista -> get ready site and log in. It
tells me the following:

"Thank you for participating in the Microsoft Windows Vista Customer Preview
Program.
You have received the maximum number of Product Keys available for this
program. "

I have not recieved an email or the key in any other form. Will it be
emailed to me later or can I request it through the Windows Vista Site?

Its obvious to me now this is Microsoft's fault. Just try again later.

I've been getting that same message. At no time has there ever been an
email or a product key on a webpage that I could see.

It's because you went directly to the download page.

If you haven't logged in to get any keys before now, go here...
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...y/preview.mspx
Scroll down to where it shows the download area. Select your country and
click OK.
You will have to sign in to your Windows Live ID and go through that way.

If you have already signed in to get keys, it will give that message. It
never e-mailed me any keys, I had to write it down from the page.
