Thank you so much .... this key piece of info is not in the sticky win8 repository post unfortunately .... would have saved me and others new to the site a lot of time.
No, I really bought two Windows 7 laptops a few months ago so I didn't need to. I'd like use the promo for my old desktop PC aswell though, but I guess I'm gonna wait a few days more. For the record, I downloaded Windows 8 from the laptop I wanted to upgrade, chose to install on a media, chose to save an .iso file, then used Windows 7 USB Download Tool to create the bootable Windows 8 USB drive and did a clean install off it. Everything worked fine and I was happy my Windows 8 Pro was already activated when I checked, so no registry editing.
Downloaded the MSDN ISO and plan to use your instructions, I have one question, how can I tell upgrade assistant to use the images I downloaded and create an installation USB pendrive? Thanks!

Well i bought a secondhand laptop and sold it again on may 2012 but i got no receipt ,so i don't know what could happens if the may wanna check the informations.. and i don't wanna pay 15€ to go a blacklisted key after some months..
Nope,Retail! I red on the internet that this key allow you to activate one computer,but you can deactivate it and move the key to another pc,so is not that bad for 15$
I also would like to use this offer, whatever I do I always get that I`m not eligible for promotion, and I have a legit Windows 7 key as I purchased my Laptop recently.
Yes thats the normal procedure, but I already have the images so I stopped the download, can I use win7 usb utility?
