Windows neptune isnt supposed to have a product key, if it does then its a modified copy

I don't often refer to BA - because they are a bunch of weird fecks, and the main admin is two-faced scum - however:

https://www.betaarchive.com/wiki/index.php/Windows_Neptune/5.5.5111.1

"The copy available on the BetaArchive FTP server is bootable, but requires a key and has a timebomb. It appears to be the original copy that was distributed to private testers. Another copy is available on the internet, but it's de-timebombed and doesn't require a key."

"Most of the leaked ISO images have had their timebombs nulled and don't require a key. However, the copy available on the BetaArchive FTP server will accept the following key W7XTC - 2YWFB - K6BPT - GMHMV - B6FDY or any Windows 98 (SE) retail keys (not MSDN, OEM or upgrade). The copy available on the BetaArchive FTP server has a timebomb of 444 days."


IOW, as said in Huckleberry Finn "You pays your money and you takes your chances.".

Fun Fact: you can use Neptune in the current time, but it will expire after 444 days of usage (like Longhorn 4074's timebomjb but only 180 days)(my experience)

BTW to activate the activity center:
have the installation disc in the disc drive (in the example D is the drive letter but use your disc drive letter)
then press Win+R and type:
regsvr32 d:\i386\accore.dll and hit enter then press OK at the prompt
then navigate to C:\WINNT\Activity\Start\StartPage\ and then open Millenium Desktop.htm
