Where can I get the product key to reinstall Windows 8 on my WANT Sleekbook 6?

Product: ENVY Sleekbook 6 (6-1110us)

Initially, this laptop came with pre-installed Windows 8. I want to reinstall Windows 8, but a Virtual Machine, the breast so I can't use the bits of food with what he delivered. I'm under Ubuntu 12.10 as principal/host OS and will have several virtual machines of Windows running at the top of it.

Where can I find the product key for Windows 8?

There is no sticker on the box with a key, and I dug through all the paperwork that comes with it.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Appears that Microsoft has changed the terms of the license with Windows 8. See the next root thread: http://superuser.com/questions/517142/running-windows-8-in-a-vm-can-i-use-the-copy-that-came-with-my-laptop

In addition, a rather good article exceeding the various changes in the terms of the license of the new Windows 8: http://www.zdnet.com/how-the-new-windows-8-license-terms-affect-you_p2-7000003028/

They consider now a physical PC and a virtual machine to be * separated * computers. Since the preinstalled Windows 8 use an OEM license, this license cannot be moved between the "computers".

For anyone interested in doing something similar (mobile Windows 8 in a virtual machine), you must purchase an additional license. Upgrade license or a System Builder should work.

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

    Hello

    You can't find the product inside the Vista DVD key.

    Vista DVD retail are generic DVDs containing all editions of Vista and the product key is distinct for the DVD, but as part of the package you purchase.

    DVD OEM system manufacturers are the same.

    OEM Licenses pre-installed (HP, Acer, etc.) are the product key on COA sticker on the machine.

  • Where can I find the product key for Windows 7?

    Hi - I recently bought a laptop from Dixons. Where can I find the product to start key to use microsoft 7? I can't find it anywhere.
    Help, please!

    Hello

    I think that 90% of Toshiba laptops, you can find on the market come with preinstalled operating system. When you start it for the first time do NOT activate pre-installed OS. At the bottom of the laptop, you can find Windows sticker with valid license key.

    Maybe you bought for laptop computer without an operating system preinstalled. In this case, you need to install own OS and use the own license key.

    The question is: which model of laptop you have exactly and has your laptop comes with preinstalled operating system?

    For the correct answer, please provide more relevant information.
