ANNOUNCEMENT - Regarding fake Windows 8 "Permanent Activation" methods. See here.

not sure why people just don't do the $14.99 Deal and never worry about a Key

what is that?

[Ashtar]

My copy of Windows 8 is PERMANENTLY activated.

And I didn't pay a penny for it.

Them's the benefits of a Dreamspark account I guess...

I DO have a legit question though. When I build my new computer but keep my old HDD, will I need to purchase Windows 8? I'm basically going to upgrade my PC bit by bit, motherboard will be upgraded too. So it's arguable a new build, arguably an upgrade. Not sure how Win8 licensing will work in this case.

The key is bound to ur HDD so u can upgrade as much as u want but u ned to use the HDD on which u active Win8 otherwise if u get a new HDD u will need to purchase a license key for it

pretty old thread but +REP

Ive only used daz loader on my W7 copies and friends n families or peoples pcs ive worked on, never failed me. I keep an extracted folder of the loader on copies of W7

Great info. Dont think id ever switch to W8 in the mean time anyway, activated or not.
