As Chris suggested, your TAM should be able to help. You could also call the MS Activation Center (888.571.2048) and deal with it over the phone.

Here's my scenario: My company is a MS Gold Partner and our folks who manage that account logged in, downloaded the RC builds which for us included Enterprise Edition, which is the version I'm currently running. I've been through the public Windows 7 RC process which appears to work differently - where you register with MS, get an ISO and a key that unlocks Ultimate edition and allows online activation. My current Enteprise Edition RC is trying to activate online and failing. I figured I would need to point it to a KMS server; hence the question. Is anyone else running into this scenario?
