DrLapiano,
This has been asked numerous times here. Windows 7 RC cannot be upgraded. You have to do a full, clean install of the final version of Windows 7. More details here[1]. It sucks, but you cannot upgrade the RC with a key or any other way.

There is no direct way to upgrade Windows 7 RC to full version. You can check the following two articles: What should I do if I'm running the Release Candidate (RC) version of Windows 7?http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/release-candidate-Windows-7Description of Windows 7 Beta and Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) expiration dates and functionalityhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/971767Sean Zhu - MSFT
