According to the Beta key FAQ:

Q. If I am accepted into the first closed beta phase, will I be able to participate in later closed beta phases?

A. Yes! As long as you’ve been accepted into the closed beta program, you’ll be able to participate for the remainder of the program.

If the "first closed beta phase" is the "alpha stress test"...
At least this FAQ comes with the alpha stress test registration: http://www.companyofheroes.com/beta-key-faq

Do you guys know whether we need to input the same CD-key ? I just copied pasted it at that moment and didn't save it. And there's no way of retrieving it via Steam.

It will be a different key.

For those who were in the alpha, will we have to redownload the whole game again to be in the beta stage?

Bandwidth from my ISP will maybe be an issue

They may lock it and then patch it, which would probably be like another 5-10 gigs, maybe more. So chances are they will just remove it and then a new file will be put up on the steam servers for us to DL.

I really do hope we get next phase access. I think it said so when we signed up for alpha.

I think we will probably have to download it from scratch again, but maybe I'm wrong
