and then roofrider could you please explain this method??
Install win8 normally, it wont' activate.
Then do a fresh install win8 again over the existing win8 partition and u'll be fine.
You can not install Windows 8 without entering the product key and if it is a upgrade key it won't install if it doesn't see a previous version on your system. This is not Windows 7 and the rules have changed.

It installs just fine if u enter the upgrade key during installation but u cant activate with it. Proof : Boxed copies of Windows 8 Pro do not work for clean installs - PC & Tech Authority
That is the problem, MS needs to make everything clear before the purchase is made.
They should not have the bloody clean install option in the upgrade version at all if u ask me.
