Ouuuu, yeah. Correct, I used this time instead of and everything was right, I returned message after pressing the button. Thank you very much, you've been very kind.
Just wondering do you need to apply for the key from a windows 8 pc that is logged on with your windows live account ?
You have to make the request from the activated Win 8 Pro. Iv requested 5 times with 5 diferent emails from Win 7 yesterday and none came and today iv requested 10 hours ago from Win 8 Pro activated and it came 10mins ago
Then i dont know. Iv tried with myopera,hotmail,gmail,yahoo.co.uk and the mail from Dreamspark Pro and none worked and today the hotmail from Win 8 worked.
So I take it this key will only work once? Think I will wait for second key to come through don't want to waist it on a VM
Just got my key after 30 hours Anyone know if these can be activated after February if it has been activated before February or if this is for "just first install" and you have to buy to get it later. (Without use of other programs)
I wonder if MS realizes they're giving away Windows 8 for free.... install Pro with the GVLK then free upgrade to WMC. Brilliant
I know this may seem unethical to some here but at 15 bucks a pop or even 40 bucks I have no qualms buying it. In fact I bought 2 14.99 upgrades from PC purchases and on 39.99 upgrade.
ok, so is 6 keys too much? also, if i was to require a reinstall of Windows 8 for whatever reason, would the WMC key still work or is it a one-time use type of deal?
I had Window 8 with media centre already installed & activated but as the key was one that had probably been used on a lot of machines, the key may get blacklisted, so I ordered a free media centre key, all I did was run "slmgr/ipk ..... ..... ..... ..... ....." I got a message saying that I needed to activate, but it activated as soon as it connected to the internet, so the free M/S key will obviously activate an unactivated (media centre edition) machine,
