I installed Windows 8.1 Pro, 64-bit, using the Full Version CD.

My main question:
Can I activate this version of windows using an OEM licence (i.e. ) having used a Full Version CD?

My scenario:
I installed and activated Windows 8.1 Pro, 64-bit, with the Full Version CD and using the Activation Code on the card.
However, the seller sold me a blacklisted Activation Code; I was refunded.
I now have an un-activated version of 8.1 Pro, 64-bit.
Can any other, OEM or Full 8.1 Pro (64-bit), licence be used to activate?

Yes, with an OEM System Builder or Retail key.

Thanks Superfly.
To re-assure myself before I make this purchase, if I purchase the one from dabs HERE (OEM System Builder version), this should work.
Am I correct?
