The person that gave it to you probably changed their mind and gave it to somebody else. Cause I got mine 2 days ago and they were still accepting invites.

well i got my invite from microsoft, so unless microsoft gave my code to someone else? :S

Its a known bug in the invite system. There have been alot of invites being given out which go invalid very quickly. The only thing you can do is email the person who sent it to you and ask for another one if/when they get more invites to send out.

I don't know if your email stated this, but during the first round (1st generation) of emails, it stated "Also, the space for this beta is limited and will be filled on a first come first served basis so do not hesitate to follow the instructions below if you are interested in taking part.".

One thing you could do is forward your invitation along with a email explaining what has happened to msnbetax@microsoft.com and give them time to get back to you. I'm sure they will not mind re-issueing a invitation for you :).

Hardly to be quite fair. The only problems I have seen is that it takes more time to sign-in than MSNM. But that is because of WLM having to check to see if your account has CNI access. If people would not have leaked the MSNM7.0+7.5 betas, we would probably not have had this extra security feature made 8-).

Email Microsoft, msnbetax@microsoft.com or one of the beta team members. Surprisingly enough, they actually get back to you on that sort of stuff. They fixed a similar problem for me.

i emailed Microsoft Connect Help (mchelp@microsoft.com) and this is what they replied:

Based on reviewing your record, it appears that any invitation you received for WLM was sent from outside the Microsoft Connect system.  As such, we can not assist you.  All email sent from Microsoft Connect is sent from msftconn@microsoft.com.

so i just replied to msnbetax@microsoft.com. we'll see what happens

btw, msnbetax@microsoft.com is the right invite email yeh?


RE: My WLM invite expired? by RebelSean on 01-01-2006 at 07:10 PM

Yes that is the email they use to email invitations. What was the email address that you received the original invitation from?


RE: My WLM invite expired? by Skitz on 01-02-2006 at 11:14 AM

yeh i received my invite from -> msnbetax@microsoft.com

i just replied to that email, not sure if people read that inbox but yeh, we'll see if they reply and help me out
