1319192	2012-12-19 19:29:00	You can only register with one email I think. Some people have been waiting for up to 5 days +. So, I would wait	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1319193	2012-12-19 19:42:00	I was using my mate's email address - X'mas holiday delays. :D - understandable.	bk T (215)

1319195	2012-12-19 20:04:00	Nuttin to do with Xmas, just registered for a customers PC I have here -- it came through within a few minutes. Edited: just did another as a test took a few minutes as well, BK T - if you get stuck just holler and I'll PM you the key - its free after all :)	wainuitech (129)
1319196	2012-12-19 20:06:00	Got mine a week ago,48 hours wait,don't know yet whether it will get used but got it just in case	Lawrence (2987)

If you use the same key as someone else you will have duplicate W8 keys. I speak from experience!	linw (53)
1319198	2012-12-20 21:12:00	Yeah technically you can use a non-legit Win8 key, and override it with the free Media Center one and suddenly windows thinks it's legit :p	Chilling_Silence (9)
1319199	2012-12-21 00:35:00	Yeah technically you can use a non-legit Win8 key, and override it with the free Media Center one and suddenly windows thinks it's legit :p You could but MS have closed this loophole now. If you try now you'll get a 0xC004C4AA error	Speedy Gonzales (78)

Who said anything about sharing a key ? They are all legit, and all different keys. When entering your email address as long as you dont put in one previously used its fine. My email domain has a catch all on it meaning I can put in what ever I want in front of the @ and it will come through. So far I have used my own domain email ( kind of) at least 8 times, for customers who wanted The media center, I would use a different address, eg customer1 @ mycompanyname then customer2 @ mycompanyname and so on, and those keys go to who ever the customer is.	wainuitech (129)
