Thanks a lot VG-,
Does it work with any win8 versions?
I haven’t received any emails yet…should I continue to wait?
Can you use a key acquired before Jan 31 to add Media Centre AFTER Jan 31?
Oh wait, never mind about my second question.
Sir VG, why MS is giving license free? what is the purpose? By taking a free license shall we not fall in trouble in future?

^^ It only works with Windows 8 Pro. Regular Windows 8 user can get the Windows 8 Pro Pack at discounted price of $69.99.
Installed Media Center Pack and is running well on Windows 8 Pro. used the link you posted, requested a key yesterday and it was sent today.
STILL WAITING for my code. How long does it take to receive?
^^ Generally it takes a few minutes or hours. You can try with another email ID.
I think the offer is not like what is said in this post. because in the offer page it is said, “MC is available for free for limited time and must be activated before Jan 31”. It actually means its a full version key and the first activation must be done before Jan 31.
