What happened when you tried your RC2 product key? Or didn't you even try?

MSDN product keys are available to MSDN subscribers by requesting a key.
Select the Product Key item in the top of the downloads page. If you are
not an MSDN subsriber then purchase a full retail edition of Vista Ultimate.
You may use that product key without have to reinstall.
