Did you manage to activate a VM with windows 8 using that extracted key?
Sure… it would be a bit of an anti-climax if it didn’t work right 😉
You Genius! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I haven’t got full activation but I’ve installed and updated. This will be sufficient for the amount that I will actually have to use windows. I’m expecting 5-hourly activation screens. Hopefully I can activate by phone if I call microsoft and explain the situation. I owe you a pint ChrisJohnRiley. 🙂
Oh, and just a followup… Phone activation 100% working. Machine is now much more user friendly because dual boot didn’t work smothly with uefi. Had to swap back to legacy to boot linux.
You have to switch back to legacy to boot unsigned kernels… although once you’ve installed I believe you can opt to use a signed kernel (might not be cutting edge) and then turn legacy boot off again to increase security. Not tested myself at this point as I need cutting edge kernel at the moment.
