I just upgraded my install with the 8.1 RTM using the key (just to install) I got with the .iso. Seems you use one key to install and another to activate.
From within Windows 8, I just double clicked the Setup.exe file on the flash drive, in my case. I had to reactivate using my original Windows 8 key and it seems to have worked. It did take a few minutes for the watermark to go away.
