Microsoft hands out free Windows 7 keys after servers fail

cracked windows seven logoMicrosoft has begun handing out unlimited free license keys for the Windows 7 beta, after its license servers were unable to handle a huge surge in applications.

The company initially attempted to provide a unique activation key to each user, with a limit on the number of times the key could be used. However, the offer of 2.5 million free Windows 7 keys valid for six months proved so attractive that the company's license and key generation servers buckled under the strain of mass applications. The servers have been almost impossible to access for most of the past 24 hours. Some users also reported problems downloading the large Windows 7 ISO image from Microsoft's servers.

"Due to very heavy traffic we’re seeing as a result of interest in the Windows 7 Beta, we are adding some additional infrastructure support to the Microsoft.com properties before we post the public beta", commented a Windows 7 team member.

During the past hour, Microsoft has apparently begun handing out keys with no usage limits - in other words, the same key can be used repeatedly by an unlimited number of users.

There appear to be a very small number of these new keys, perhaps as few as a dozen.

Servers collapse

When the Windows Seven keys became publicly available yesterday, Microsoft's servers were initially very slow, but did issue some keys.

"The volume has been phenomenal—we're in the process of adding more servers to handle the demand", Microsoft staff explained.

As the hours passed, frustrated applicants began using various automated scripts (with tools such as Greasemonkey and the Firefox Check4change add on) to automatically reload the key generation page every few seconds.

Interest in obtaining a key was so intense that, for a few hours "Check4change" was the third most popular search term in the US, according to Google Trends.

With the server load increasing still further, many users left empty-handed, even after trying for hours, although some were eventually successful. Some compared the incessant hammering from tens of thousands of web browsers as similar to a DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack on Microsoft.  Finally, on Saturday morning, Microsoft engineers apparently decided to open the floodgates, and stopped trying to create a new key for every user of the new operating system.

Notes:

The new unlimited registration keys include the following (final five characters removed for legal reasons)

QXV7B-K78W2-QGPR6-9FWH9-XXXXX

WIN 7 - Get Off the Fail Trail...

what a bunch of f***ing maroons downloading the beta all nite and wailing at MS, "I can haz keyz plz?"

Who cares about this new pile of crap OS from MS

Didnt any of you learn a lessn from Vista?

This is just Vista 1.1, don't you get it? It's like the difference between Win 95 and Win 97, but they gave it a new name so you tardz think yr getting someting new.

Time to get off the fail trail...

you and your mindset are the

you and your mindset are the only ones on the "fail trail"

you're an idiot and you should learn something about what you're talking about before you post nonsense.

thx

i was just going to say the same thing :) he should keep is mouth shut if there isnt anything useful in it

oh yeah , and it's windows

oh yeah , and it's windows 98 that came out not 97 ...

hahahah

You wish it was vista 1.1 but sorry, its more like 2.0 ;)

Haha, there is no Win 97!

Haha, there is no Win 97! Stupid..

if thats what uyou think go a head and create an OS better than any out there.

are you sure you know what you are talking about?

So you dont like microsoft. big woop. but that doesnt mean that you can insult windows 7 by saying its an upgraded vista. How do I know you do not have a clue? Windows 97.

And you are the king of the

And you are the king of the morons......Win 7 is fur more than vista. Do you think if you had a twin brother, would he be a carbon copy of you?

You sound like someone who

You sound like someone who has a beef with microsoft. Well let me just drop some knowlege your way you wannabe expert...I hold a CompTIA A+ Certification and have researched Microsoft's new os unlike vista Microsoft finally got it right! So quit bad mouthing Microsoft before you even try the new OS...Unless that is YOU don't make any mistakes.

You gotta try it before you make such sweeping statements

To the poster above, I'm assuming to haven't even bothered downloading and installing the OS and thus have no basis on which to back up your comments about Windows 7. Grow up, maybe if you try it you might think differently, maybe not, but for now, keep your prepubescent mouth shut.

This was the best thing to ever come from MS. Micro Soft is a great thing to have behind you, not as good as Linux Ubuntu 9.10 or anything but people be happy that MS decided to ripe apart vista and rebuild it and call it Win7 there are so many great things about this OS thank you so much MS for the help.

Listen Up People

This message goes out to ALL those begging for Windows 7 Keys.

There are NO free available keys for Windows 7 (Any Ver) the reason for this? Well, when someone leaks a super-key, blacklisted key, full retail key, it can only be used a certain amount of time before Microsoft eventually delete the key from their servers. Thus meaning that the keys are no longer valid and will NOT work, there is no such thing as a free meal...

You have to pay for your keys. Like everyone else, like I did.

Need Windows 7 Professional Product Key

Need to get a product key but none of the above work. Also where can I get a keygen? Everyplace I look redirects you to some wierd webpage that forces you to complete a survey or something. Ugh...

my goodness!!

It's like a lolly scramble in here! Everyone wants a free key! Some people have only an OEM sticker left and HDD or other PC problems.

Microsoft have really over complicated something that could have been simpler. All this sh!t with OEMs that pre-install systems... then something goes wrong and you ares stuck up a creek with no paddle, no canoe, no install media and no key - just a nice, useless sticker to remind you that you got the machine with Windows and that $$$ has now evaporated along with the "recovery partition".

Microsoft should know better as history bears out that Windows installs degrade over time and the end user needs install media and a key. These should also work fine offline and not depend on 1st world assumptions of network, broadband, etc. The "Genuine MS" drive is a farce until every machine comes with media (genuine, not OEM discs) and a key that works.

MS would then be full control of their OS. If I were them I would rather sell 50,000,000 copies at $25 than 10,000,000 at $300+ and then spend millions on fighting piracy. Just saying...
