Activation on Vista SP1 Release Candidate

I entered my activation code and now I am running the beta service pack build
6001.

I have the message at the bottom right indicating that it is an evaluation
copy.

Problem is that it keeps reminding me that I need to activate. I cannot
activate because my key is already in use.

1. What is going to happen at the end of my 30 days.
2. What will happen if/when I install the complete version of SP1?

Re: Activation on Vista SP1 Release Candidate

End of 30 days it goes into reduced functionality mode. You shouldn't have
any issues with the complete version of SP1.

It says your key is in use because of your previous install Pre-SP1. You can
just activate using the activate by phone option, and you shouldn't have any
problems.

There is no Beta of SP1 as it has been released as a final product since
February this year. So just download and install the final full SP1 on your
Vista machines. No product key is required.
