MSDN subscribers are the only users authorized to install software
available from the MSDN subscriber web site. It requires a product key
from MSDN that only can be used by MSDN subscription subscribers.

If you are not a MSDN subscriber, the copy of Windows Vista you have
obtained is of no use to you and the MSDN subscriber that gave it to
you has seriously breached his or her MSDN subscriber licensing agreement.

And no, a RC2 product key will not work!

I have the MSDN release of Windows Vista and I installed Vista Ultimate. It
says I have to enter a key in 30 days.
Can I put my RC2 key here, or what should I do? Is it normal for a MSDN
release to request a key and activation?
