    You mean the keys you got were all from that upgrade site, without entering a product key or COA?

    I'm having the same problem, always is asking me for that Windows 7 Product Key, tried two different email address, windows 7 using internet explorer, using OSX 10.8 with opera, firefox and chrome and no go.

    Tried with different brands by the way the date I choose is september 1 2012.

    I'm from guatemala and I choose USA since my country doesn't appears.

    Did you just put in the brand names? Goto any OEM site and pick a currently selling model. :p

    still works fine just got some for someone else here. you must make sure its a legit CURRENT model that is capable of the free upgrade check newegg or somewhere for one that says free win 7 upgrade use that specific model number and brand. you cant just put any old brand and model in. also phone number im seeing must be a real phone number. i tried making one up and it didnt work with a real one it works fine.

    This is crazy. I just tried it just to see how easy it was to get this offer and I can say it can't get any easier than this. I am convinced that MS wants everyone to migrate to Win8 and they are basically giving it away. No shortage of keys on my end between dreamspark and these upgrade keys plus the kms activation solution. Oh I forgot that the free WMC keys will convert the kms activation to a permanent retail activation.

    Is there an option to download the 32bit version using Win7-64bit?
    How about getting a different language?
    I got mine 64bit automatically when using Win7-64bit and need 32bit for an old netbook, tia

    clear ALL history, go to the upgrade site enter your name and a LEGIT phone and email. then enter newegg for the store and enter A55A-NB51 for the model and choose a date in october. see if that works for me it works best in firefox. enb if you would like me to try send me a pm with your info and i should be able to make it work.

    no you will get which one matches the system. so if x64 is in use then you will get x64, if you need x86 use the links in the stickies to download the x86 msdn version. works fine.

    For the life of me I just can't get it to accept my info and get the upgrade discount.
    Keep getting the "Unfortunately you are not eligible" error message.
    I have tried multiple times using 3 different LEGIT Win7 keys I have for my home computers... no go.

    Only thing I can figure is I am trying to get it while living in Japan but from the USA store.

    Man that is a bummer.... I was going to buy 3 upgrades for $45... now I have to decide if I just want to buy 1 upgrade for $40.
    Not sure if it is worth it.... I even just tried through the Japanese language site and still no go....... grrrrr
