    Help Activating Windows 8

    I tried the Media Center Pro key thing on Windows 8 enterprise... only to find out Microsoft have closed the loop. Now my Windows needs to be activated. Is there anyway to work around this?

    Is the activation using this app reliable and doesn't die after a period of time?

    Ok thanks. I just wanted to make sure as I don't want my lad getting bombarded with reminders notifications as he'll panic

    Can I let Windows Update run on this and it won't figure out anything dodgy?

    Is the 8ctivator still working?

    I've fired it up this evening on two machines and it's not populating the list with anything other than html blurb.
