    Hello, I just found this forum and I have a question about activating a Windows 8 Pro key on 2 computers.

    I bought Windows 8 Pro for my laptop last year and it worked fine. Recently my laptop died so I installed Windows 8 Pro on my desktop with the same activation key. I had to do the phone activation and I talked to a person and explained the situation. They gave me a new code and activated for me. Now my laptop has fixed. Can I still use the same activated license on both machines, or will they detect that the same key has been used? Thanks.

    Sometimes (in fact many times!) I really would like to know from which planet some user are came?! Users from planet Earth, all I asked, could tell me that a MS license for Windows OS's privatly obtained is for to use on ONE computer only! :rolleyes:

    What about to answer such 'crazy' question with just X times? :D
