Activation failure

My installation hangs when I enter the key that Microsoft provided me. If I
enter my XP Pro key, it tells me right away that it's invalid. Any ideas why?

RE: Activation failure

Swrink wraped vista beta 2 that was mailed to me, out of the box install,
says I have an invalid key and the install process stops. I've found no
thread here with an answer as to why!
