Hello,
I got Windows 8 Pro from dreamspark and installed it on a new laptop (without OS, I wanted to save money). I had one of the WMC keys from the free promo so I added one of them. It basically overwrites the Win 8 Pro key if I'm right. So does that mean, that, in theory, I can use the Win 8 Pro key on another PC without this one getting deactivated ?
My experience is that I can move Windows license from one PC to another but it needs to be uninstalled on the first PC. (slmgr -upk is what I mean but formatting the harddrive / never powering on the PC again works too)
