    Sorry to say, didn't work for me. Besides the Desktop now showing "Win 8 Pro" "Build 9200", checking the Computer Properties still says it's not activated.

    I was just reading more about the MSDN releases today and it hit me, the SHA1 for the Leaked torrents are for retail versions, the ones at MSDN are for Volume licenses, which IMO are the same editions but one with is Retail and the other is Volume. would anyone agree with me? just a thought and I maybe be wrong

    I have windows 8 pro, if I use a volume key it turns into a volume edition and if I enter a retail key it turns into a retail edition. For the Pro version it is all about the key.

    Once you have access to Windows 8 via MSDN you also get the product key, once you use the product key provided via MSDN am pretty sure it will activate.

    nope lol I was downloading the Eval but after reading that it would go off after 90 days I stopped and also I read that both the leak and MSDN images are mostly identical I decided to stay with the version I activated with the benderrodriguez a couple of days ago.

    What's on MSDN now is the final version with activation keys. The MSDN keys are good forever once they're given to you. The license will not expire and you will get windows updates.


    If you're an early adopter like me and have legit access, then by all means jump on board! No reason to wait, unless something you need is incompatible (ugh vsphere.......)
