    Hi. I bought an original key for Windows 8 Pro and then I upgraded it by using the free key for Windows media center. My question is,can the original key be used again on some other PC.I`m asking it because now on my PC in the activation window there is only the new,free key for WMC so maybe it is possible,I don`t know.

    No, it is bound to the machine and the WMC key.

    Hello


    I have downloaded Windows 8 Enterprise 64-bit 90-day evaluation from Microsoft MSDN.
    This is the ISO file name: 9200.16384.WIN8_RTM.120725-1247_X64FRE_ENTERPRISE_EVAL_EN-US-HRM_CENA_X64FREE_EN-US_DV5.ISO
    size: 3.25 GB
    I did Hash check and got SHA-1: ae59e04462e4dc74e971d6e98d0cc1f2f3d63f1d
    But on the first page of this thread the SHA-1 is different: Windows 8 RTM English Enterprise Eval, 64-bit (x64)
    Size: 3.25 GB SHA-1: 73DF20A98D8CDF52E70FBFFECBEBA63F2A242322
    Can someone explain me why the SHA-1 results are different?

    What is it that you are trying to do?

    Do you want the eval copy? and why, its old and you can use the newer copy and activate with KMS I believe.

    If you look on MSDN suscriber downloads, there isn't a EVAL copy listed (at least not anymore.)

    Where can I get the newer copy? the link in the first page was removed due to DMCA.
    BTW, I have downloaded the evaluation copy from MSDN today. Isn't this copy the newest one? MSDN Evaluation Center
    Windows 8 evaluation for developers. (google it)
    Can't I activate the evaluation copy using CODYQX4's Microsoft Toolkit ?[h=2][/h]

    Hi guys,

    I own a genuine Windows 8 Pro x64 licence which came with my pre-assembled desktop.

    There is a recovery partition on the hdd but no installation dvd so i don't even know what my licence code is.

    I would like to create a dvd rescue disk for any emergency and to reinstall the os in case the hdd breaks down.

    Is there any way to create an installation disk from the recovery partition?
    If not what iso I need to download to create my own Windows 8 disk and can i download it from here: h t t p ://no_short_urls_allowed/106fvEx?

    Also is it possible to discover my licence key?

    Thanks a lot :)
