    install ONLY if you intend to run on VM and you are willing to do a clean install 90days later. no way to update/upgrade. 90days end, reformat=) this is the 90days eval edition.

    If SHA is the same then you can use key.

    Just when I managed to activate Win 8 Pro, I find that the release date is August 25th, or around that date. Honestly, I didn't expect them to release it to DS until the end of October. But, who am I to argue, free retail key! :D
