In order to successfully install and use Whistler Beta 2, you must:

1. Obtain a Product Key. This key is valid for 10 product activations, so be sure to keep it safe. If you lose your key, you can click this link again and the same key will be displayed. If you require additional product keys, please contact MSDN Customer Service.

2. After installation you will be asked to activate the installation, which requires a connection to the Internet. If you do not activate the installation Whistler Beta 2 will continue to function for 14 days. After 14 days you must activate.
