You can't activate the default key. If I was to install this on a second computer, an extra key would be necessary. - (the key which came with it, can only be used once). Has anyone purchased a key only, from MSoft and how much?

It's unclear what you bought (or have) - Have you link for what you bought ? There are three types of Windows 8 media - unlike prior o/s there is no grace period for activation. In Windows 8 activation occurs during installation. The three types of media available for either Windows 8 or Windows 8 Professional a 1. Upgrade - download from MSFT or purchase from retail outlet 2. Personal Use for System Builders - purchase from a retail outlet (not available from MSFT) 3. OEM - Pre-installed on an pc by the pc manufacturer provider (e.g. Dell, HP, or other OEM partner) Item 1 and 2 come with a valid product key. Item 3 product keys are encrypted in the bios. Which one do you have ? For information on purchasing a product key if you already have valid media contact MSFT.
