    Thank you!
    If you do clean install on empty drive use this method to activate your win 8 (14.99 upgrade).

    Not that the ISO that you can dl from the upgrade assistant is substantively different than the MSDN disk, right?

    With ei.cfg file you can skip the license during installation. Now you need to know if it is possible as vista and 7 to activate a clean full install with update key.
    you can try the double installation

    It is different.... size difference and everything. The activation will fail if you try to do a reformat install activation using the disk u get with the upgrade assistant... I'm just telling you what worked for me. The MSDN disk I downloaded passed activation on a full reformatted install using my 14.99 key.

    I have a MSDN image also, and activation originally failed with my $14.99 key. Had to do the mediaboot registry thing to get activated.

    To be more clear as to what I did:

    - Rebooted
    - Booted into Win8 (USB)
    - At the very first screen, I pressed Shift+f10 (or whatever it is) to access Command Prompt
    - Used Diskpart to only clean my main hard drive, nothing else
    - Started install process, using my upgrade product key
    - Chose Custom Install
    - Pressed Install on the 1 Unpartitioned Space I had
    - Installed
    - Got to Desktop
    - Wasn't activated
    - Tried entering key to activate, failed
    - Followed some guide to get activated (involved running 3 commands, registry modification, another command, reboot, and then activation using my upgrade key)
    - Activated :)

    When I try to use one of these via Add Features To WN8 I have to enter the standard 5 groups of 5 (25) digit key.
    Am I missing something..?

    If you run upgrade assistant on 32 bit you got 32 bit installation media i think.
    As i know oem key is not addicted to 32 bit or 64 bit system, you can use it on both. Don't know how it is with upgrade key.
