Visual C++ Express registration does not work.

  I cut and pasted the "Access Code" from the web page. ie did this
  
  

  Step 1. Copy the 14-digit activation key from above.

  Step 2. From Visual C++ Express Edition, click on Help/Activate Product....

  Step 3. Paste the activation key into the Product Activation Dialog and click the 'Activate Now' Then get dialog - Activation failed etc ..... Come on "Gives us a break". Windows is *** - you agree

  The e-mail that is sent *after* you complete registration contains an access code for Microsoft Learning online eReference books. This code will *not* activate your Beta 2 Express C++ Edition. 
  
  The activation key for your Express product is presented on a Web page, not in an e-mail. This Web page is presented after it is confirmed that you have a valid e-mail associated with your Passport account.
  
  Please go to "Activate Product" on the Help menu in the application, click on the Register link, and repeat the registration process. After your e-mail address is confirmed, you should immediately see the Web page with your activation key.

  I copied and pasted it into the field. Straight from the email I got after registering.
  
  Yet, the IDE rejects it immediately.
  
  Should I get another activation code
  Is there a problem with the build I got (beta2-050215-4400)
  
  I don't know.
  I still find it amazing this does not work.
  
  In the "About" dialog, it says: "Licensed to: Unknown User Name"
  Could that be the reason

  Same for me with C# Express.
