It is not easy to find the Live Framework SDK introduced during PDC 2008. Therefore I just snapshot and wrote down the steps to find and install it.
This is something you should do first. If you are at PDC 2008 you have an alternative way of doing the Hands-on Lab and getting so the activation code. If you are not at PDC 2008 you will find the link through http://dev.live.com/liveframework
Fill out the form and wait until you get an approval email. BTW, I still don’t got mine, I took the shortcut going through the HOL.
If you received your activation token, you have to redeem it. This will be done on http://lx.azure.microsoft.com.
You have to go through the registration. If you have already an Live Applications it will find it and make it manageable throught the portal. Next, you will enter the activation token and redeem it.
If the token was valid you receive the following message
The following is not clearly described. You have to go through creating a project to get the Live Framework SDK and its dependencies.
If you go “New Project” in the upper left corner, you will be starting the project creation process. Select “Live Services: Live Framework Community Technology Preview”. Note, that you have a maximum amount of 25 projects to test with.
After selecting you have to read and accept the Terms of Use in order to receive the SDK. Next, type in the project name and description
And now we got where we want to be. We received the link!
The link will navigate you to the Mesh CTP where you can host a Mesh-Enabled application and have the links for the download packages
It is important to install in order, first Live Framework SDK, then Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio and finally Live Framework Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio. One thing to mention is that the Live Framework SDK just comes in a zipped form. You have to copy the content to your Program Files directory into the Microsoft SDK folder. Beware that you need UAC elevation on Vista when enabled, what I’m sure you have!
After that you are ready to run the Silverlight Tools installer and close the whole process with the Live Framework tools.
The result in Visual Studio 2008
Happy Meshing!

What are you using for screen captures - the jagged edges could be a cool effect to use from time to time...
Sind alle "activation token"s bereits in der CTP Phase vergeben?
Ich bin leider kein Teilnehmer der PDC und habe mich am Dienstag über MS Connect angemeledt - würde allerdings gerne etwas mit Azure, dem Live Framework und co. rumspielen :)

Ich nehme an, das die PDC Teilnehmer zuerst zugelassen werden. Wieviele Plätze es gibt und wie lange es für nicht PDC Teilnehmer dauert und ob diese überhaupt in den jetzigen CTP reinkommen, weiß ich nicht.
Hab heute meinen "activation token" bekommen und ich war nicht auf der PDC!
Hatte mich an dem Tag wo das SDK vorgestellt wurde angemeldet.
