To get a $!5 key the last day is 28 feb. you have time till then.but if you are going to do this one day then why wait,earlier the better.
My problem it's time: Backup, apply Solution1 or Solution 2, solution to others problems, etc. I have my key today for student, dreamspark premium Thanks for all
Dreamspark, Bizspark and MSDN standard Retail keys can be activated in any time independent of the promo that will end on the next day.
i thought the offer ended 31st jan - happy to be corrected and am i right in thinking the key does not expire - i have a key but dont want to install it yet - maybe a few months ahead - am hoping and assuming key will be valid - know that was the case on 7 on a key i had for something over a year before activating
No issues using UpDown8 and then "upgrade". So those wmc keys expire real soon, what about those keys that have been used, could they be used again in future if we decided to format and re-install 8? Or do we need to rely fully on Advanced Tokens Manager's backup activation only. I asked because I will probably buy another hdd to replace this in couple of months time.
Think about it for a minute. This is a copy and paste from MS: If you buy a qualified Windows 7 PC between June 2, 2012 and January 31, 2013, you can purchase a download of Windows 8 Pro at a special promotional price that varies by region. So how can the option to purchase the promo upgrade expire on 1/31/2013. IMHO, the date to purchase a promo upgrade expires on 2/28/2013.
i had thought about it and searched but had always come up with the 31st Jan date but taking your comment as better info than mine i searched again and yes you are correct - i found this in the offer FAQ's What is the last day for me to register and order the Windows Upgrade Offer? You must make your qualifying Windows 7 PC purchase prior to 31 January 2013; you must register for the program and subsequently purchase and download the Windows 8 upgrade by 28 February 2013. which is great as i have an offer code and have just tried to buy but something is wrong as the order is cancelled every time i try - now have month to sort it when i thought i had a day
