    As far as I am aware you can only use the key once and before the 31st of jan
    the only way you can use it after that is if you are restoring activation on a clean install using ATM Advance Tokens Manager)to restore your activation

    The win8 pro iso also has windows 8 core on it you might have installed using the core key and not the pro key
    Right click on my computer then property's then you can see which version of 8 you have

    I got all my keys today. They all came in about 24-30 hours after I submitted the request. I have been using them with my kms activated systems which converts the activation status to retail permanent. I thought MS was supposed to make activation hacks more difficult, very strange indeed.

    KEY WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER IN CASE OF REUSABLE FORMATTING WINDOWS 8

    Hi, sorry for my english I wanted to ask you one thing: this morning I bought the upgrade to Windows 8 from previous Windows 7 OEM that I had with my PC. Yesterday I reformatted to four times to see if the associated product key was successfully activated and so. At the same time I enrolled in the promotion for the Windows Media Center and after ten hours I received the product key to my mail box. I installed the product key and all right. My question is "It 'can be reused on the same computer code WMediaCenter sent in promotion if REINSTALLATION Operating System"? Why on many forums it is said that once activated is no longer 'valid. In waiting for your prompt response, I send you my most cordial greetings.
