You actually always did need a appID but the CTP had it hardcoded in. For those using the CTP it will expire on the 31st December so time to upgrade. As a developer you can now get a AppID instantly and it free* to use on a public facing site (limits and conditions apply but it won't hold you up from developing).
Let me tell you the appid is much nicer than the old token system! The control is now Silverlight3 so if you're interested in out of browser, full screen mouse zoom, perspective 3D then check it out. We will be moving the DeepEarth controls - thinking of renaming to "The DeepEarth Toolkit" - to Silverlight3 in the next few weeks and concentrating on supporting the new Bing Maps control only.
