Found five things on the Inet related to the Keys:
1) In fact as a technet subscriber, only rc1 keys are posted so far and I'm not sure how long it will take them to post RTM and keys once it goes gold. Could be weeks out for all we know.
In that case enter the DOS command [slmgr.vbs -dlv], if you find on the script "remaining number of re-arm=3" ,then you could assure yourself that you are able to run it for 120 days totally legit.

Replace pkeyconfig.xrm-ms with the one from build 7232/7231 located at C:\Windows\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig
Replace tokens.dat with the one from build 7232/7231 located at C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\ Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
Restart software protection service
RC Key should now work and activate.
Just a word of advice - beware since it would make your OS a 'frankenbuild' and it is easly traceable for Microsoft to blacklist such builds.
I strongly recommend anyone to back up your tokens and pkeyconfig files.
3) copy and paste this save as a .bat file and put into a folder with your 2 files and select run as admin:

Code:
net stop sppsvc /y
takeown /f "%WinDir%\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\pkeyconfig.xrm-ms"
cacls "%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\tokens.dat" /e /g everyone:f
cacls "%WinDir%\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\pkeyconfig.xrm-ms" /e /g everyone:f
ren "%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\tokens.dat" "tokens.bak"
ren "%WinDir%\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\pkeyconfig.xrm-ms" "pkeyconfig.bak"
copy tokens.dat "%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\"
copy pkeyconfig.xrm-ms "%WinDir%\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\"
del "%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing\tokens.bak"
del "%WinDir%\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\pkeyconfig.bak"
net start sppsvc
cscript %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs -ipk <insert a key here>
cscript %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs -ato
4) Code:
net stop sppsvc /y
takeown /f "%WinDir%\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\pkeyconfig.xrm-ms"
cacls "%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\tokens.dat" /e /g everyone:f
cacls "%WinDir%\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\pkeyconfig.xrm-ms" /e /g everyone:f
ren "%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\tokens.dat" "tokens.bak"
ren "%WinDir%\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\pkeyconfig.xrm-ms" "pkeyconfig.bak"
copy tokens.dat "%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\"
copy pkeyconfig.xrm-ms "%WinDir%\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\"
del "%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing\tokens.bak"
del "%WinDir%\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\pkeyconfig.bak"
net start sppsvc
cscript %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs -ipk <insert a key here>
cscript %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs -ato
I would remove the del-marked lines(in order to keep the backups),
anyway - should work, just add that the <insert a key here> should be filled with an actual RC key
5) I used 2 files from build 7229
but it says "This copy of Windows is not genuine"
Make sure the tokens and pkey files (from any of the RC-builds) are in the same directory as the batch-script.
Make sure you will insert a correct RC key in the red marked place in the batch file :
cscript %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs -ipk
<insert a key here>One of those keys should work :
MM7DF-G8XWM-J2VRG-4M3C4-GR27X
KGMPT-GQ6XF-DM3VM-HW6PR-DX9G8
MVBCQ-B3VPW-CT369-VM9TB-YFGBP
KBHBX-GP9P3-KH4H4-HKJP4-9VYKQ
BCGX7-P3XWP-PPPCV-Q2H7C-FCGFR
RGQ3V-MCMTC-6HP8R-98CDK-VP3FM
Q3VMJ-TMJ3M-99RF9-CVPJ3-Q7VF3
6JQ32-Y9CGY-3Y986-HDQKT-BPFPG
P72QK-2Y3B8-YDHDV-29DQB-QKWWM
6F4BB-YCB3T-WK763-3P6YJ-BVH24
9JBBV-7Q7P7-CTDB7-KYBKG-X8HHC
C43GM-DWWV8-V6MGY-G834Y-Y8QH3
GPRG6-H3WBB-WJK6G-XX2C7-QGWQ9
MT39G-9HYXX-J3V3Q-RPXJB-RQ6D7
MVYTY-QP8R7-6G6WG-87MGT-CRH2P
I have no possibility to test it by myself since I will wait for the actual RTM version, but it theoretically should work.
