    There are keys which you can get from but you need to activate it thru skype or phone activation. But what is your Windows 8 edition? Is it core? Pro?

    I think there is only so few available keys right now. And I know only keys for Pro WMC phone activation.

    you need retail/enterprise edition, use a mak key to activate by phone, this works with 8.1 pro/enterprise and server 2012 r2
    It don't work with either coresinglelanguage or enterprise's evaluation editions.
    open command prompt (admin mode) and type
    Code:
    slmgr /dlv
    , you gonna find what edition is.
    cheers
