       Windows 8 requires a product key

       The Windows Developer Preview is a public pre-beta and shouldn't
       require a product key. Yet, some users were prompted with a
       "Please enter product key to proceed" window either when
       installing Windows, when running Windows 8 off of a USB key
       ("Windows To Go") or after they repaired the OS using the
       Windows Refresh feature.
       Solution: To get rid of the product key check, Microsoft advises
       users to re-download the ISO from the MSDN website and install
       everything all over. However, that might not be the perfect
       option if you've already spent hours downloading, installing and
       configuring your Windows 8 test PC. A quicker method is to use a
       key provided by Microsoft's Support that works universally
       across all Windows 8 Developer Preview builds. Simply type in:
       6RH4V-HNTWC-JQKG8-RFR3R-36498 (for the Windows 8 Client)
       4Y8N3-H7MMW-C76VJ-YD3XV-MBDKV (for the Windows Server 8)
       That should be it to activate your Windows 8 Dev Preview!
