Have you received any email from Microsoft after you downloaded it? It
should be at the bottom of that email. If your isp has spam filtering check
your bulkmail folder.

Some of us never got the email.

I got a message on the screen that said that they would send me an email,
but I never got it.

Fortunately, the same message had the product key on it, and I wrote it
down, but I never got the email.

They would have sent it to your hotmail account. The one you signed up for
to get the freebie and then forgot about.

Oh if that were only true!! All I got was if you don't get it "contact US" of
course they did have all the stuff a spam blocker and wrong email address. I
had no problem with the DLs and have loaded and run the older ver. for some
time without any problems.

Did that 6 times and DLed vista twice but still have no key. Always used
different email addresses so you would think some would come in.
