    If you use the procedure as I wrote above (Post: #13)while using to install Windows 8 Pro with WMC, it will automatically be activated. Just before the end of install you'll need to key in the WMC Product Key you got free from MS and you're done.

    Pisthai. I now have the iso, the wmc pack, if I found it right on google total 50 something mb. Just waiting on the key from ms. How long does it take? ps. I tried patching but it ask for MSVCR100.DLL. I downloaded vcredist_x64 thinking it would help but nope.

    Nevermind i downloaded vcredist_x86 also it worked :)

    MY WMC key took 2 days to get emailed to me.. that was a couple of weeks ago.. might be faster now..
    i ended up getting the same key sent to me twice because after the 24 hours (as suggested by the MS site) i didnt get my key so i figured it had bugged out or something so i resubmitted a key request ;)

    this is all automated, probably nobody will respond. Simply wait and you get your key as we all did. patience is a v....
