No, continue using your PINs for each machine but use your password to access the other PC over the network. I assume they are in the same workgroup/domain and on the same subnet.
Hi everyone. I noticed there is no Education SKU yet so i thought i'd share a workaround and a way to save bandwidth. If you take the Pro SKU it can be upgraded with DISM offline via get-target-editions to Enterprise and Education. I don't see why this would be any better or worse than downloading the 3 SKUs individually. I'm assuming if you get the coresinglelanguage version it can be upgraded to core to complete the set. Anyone want to do me a solid and do dism.exe /Image:"c:\Mount" /Get-TargetEditions on a coresinglelanguage wim? Also, is the SKU for home named core or home? Either way, heres the stdout of what i used to make the Pro to enterprise\Education. Normally i would update the pro x86\x64 with hotfixes etc and then export the updated target editions. I have been doing this with 8.1 for awhile.

Kind of ridiculous that pins won't work within your own network..everybody pretty much has more than one pc connected these days.
So I've been running the Tech Preview since the 99** builds, updated all the way to 10240. Tonight I decided to format and clean install on the same laptop. I installed it, never added a key, just skipped it. I signed in with my MS account, and it won't activate. It shows my key as being the 3V66T one but says the key has been blocked. WTF?
Your connected to the internet, right? And the build you upgraded to was the same as what was originally installed, home-home or pro-pro? If both of those are yes then I don't know.
You've to check all Network Settings on both Laptop and Desktop, they need to identical except the computers IP. Also applies to Firewall on both machine. And again: DHCP must be enabled in Modem/Router! In Windows also, as @Don told, Network Discovery must be enabled!
@the scotsman: The Key 3V66T is an Enterprise key and is OK, not blocked! It's blocked for online activation via the MS Activation Center's because of being for Enterprise. No need to change the Key. Open an elevated Command Prompt (CMD) and just type the following 2 commands: Code: slmgr /skms kms.xspace.in slmgr /ato Both command end with press Enter key. After a moment of the ato command, it should show to be activated!
