    Don't buy any editions from sellers like that. All that guys doing is selling his keys, which often results in systems getting deactivated because he'll sell the same key to a few people who think they're getting a good deal.

    Thank you for the answer, but I tried many keys of this thread, and none gave me the right for a promo code.

    How I got mine is install a Virtual Box Ubuntu on my Windows 7 machine and used both chrome and firefox, I just told them I bought it at Newegg, other for manufacture, with model number H55M-USB3 and got 2 different codes I used and bought 2 copies. It never asked for a windows 7 number

    I tried with same information (and date september 2012), and no windows 7 number asked, but again the same answer : "We are sorry. unfortunately, based on the information you provided [...] you are not elligible... blabla."

    (try under ubuntu 10.04 and chromium)

    Try a Firefox new install on your Ubuntu. I just tried mine, but no luck, otherwise I would have sent you the code.

    When did you try this? I tried it out on Linux Chrome and it still asks me for a Windows 7 key. What are my options here?

    Ok. I got one PROMO Code in my Email box using the Win 7 Code from a cousins laptop bought in Dec 2011 (He's already installed a Hacked copy of Win 8 on it).

    The laptop is not actually eligible for the $14.99 PROMO but I put purchase date as Jan 2013, So I am guessing the code has come in email. Will this be the 14.99 PROMO Code?

    Is this to be used using Upgrade Assistant only or some website online will do as well?

    Is it possible to check? Could I try to use this code and then NOT SUBMIT and then come back to use it later? Or will it DIE as soon as I first try to use it / check it without final SUBMIT/ PURCHASE?

    PS: Also other methods outlined above also welcome.

    Also, is possible to do a Fresh Windows 8 Install using the FINAL Windows 8 License that comes via this method?

    Just totally Off Topic but: regarding the Feb. 31 qnd also Feb. 30!!

    Was just about 2 weeks ago iin the Thai News that there were an Custom Officer with Birthday Feb. 30. which was getting problems now to open an Bank Account and apply for the new Thai ID Card with Chip (Smart Card)! Same happens for an Teacher who were born on Feb. 31. and complained as well! As the Government Offices in Thailand now get fully computerized and equipped, such "mistake" come on the light of the day!

    I'm wonder (or even not) how that was need so many years to show up!
