I've noticed an intriguing event in Event viewer...
Googleing the error code, I get this.
However, when I moved the Windows 8 installation from my daily use laptop which will keep the Windows 7 Ultimate(forever be praised) I got as a beta tester of 7, to my 'Windows 8 Pro with WMC perpetual test machine' (an older ''classic'' desktop tower) I had to use the automated phone system, both for the activation of Pro and for the activation of Pro with WMC and both succeeded. The Windows 8 Activation UI states I'm activated, I have a working WMC and no problems with updates, Store or anything else, and license diagnostics confirms this.
Any thoughts? Should I be worried at all?

Please note that in my case this is not an error that springs during activation, it is an event logged at system start.You might see this error after you used the Add Features to Windows 8 app to upgrade your current edition of Windows. The Windows 8 Pro with Media Center edition can only be activated on PCs that had Windows preinstalled, or Windows was purchased on the Windows website or at a retail store. To fix the problem, you need to install Windows with the product key provided to you in an email or with the DVD. If you think you have received this message in error, contact a Microsoft Customer Support representative.
