Yeah, when I click on: Register Product Now, in the little window, a I.E. Window opens, but is just the shell? I'd really like to get the Activation Key, so as I can get crackin'!!!

Idea '?

Could some1 please give me the direct URL of the:

Microsoft Visual Studio registration Web Site

Can you all provide some more information? Which products are you trying to register/activate? What OS are you on? When the browser comes up, do you get anything (Passport sign-in) or anything in the address bar?

Bud, are you still experiencing this issue? It could be a busy server that is slow in responding. Can you please let me know if this problem still exists?

If so, what OS are you running? What version of Visual Studio do you have installed? Have you had previous versions (CTP, Beta1) installed?

Thanks!
