Hello,

May I know how can I buy a Windows 8 Enterprise license key to activate my Windows PC?

All my searches point to other versions of Windows but I can't find the Enterprise one so which key do I have to buy to activate it?

    You can not install the 8 Pro License Product Key on two machines at the same time.

    One License is for one installation at a time

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Support and downloads for 8 has ended.

    Use 8.1 Pro.

    You can download and create your own Windows 8.1 Installation Media to reinstall the Operating System with..

    "Create installation media for Windows 8.1"

    In the first screen of this very simple wizard, you need to choose the following:

    Language. English – en-us if you're in the United States.

    Edition. Windows 8.1 (Core), Windows 8.1 N, Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro N, or Windows 8.1 Single Language.

    Architecture. 64-bit (x64 ) or 32-bit (x86).

    You can't buy a key for the Enterprise version.  Presumably you have a license for the OS originally installed by the manufacturer, and that version can be reinstalled.  Contact the manufacturer.   Other than that, your only (legal) option is to purchase a key for whatever version you want and you PC is capable of running.

    Sorry but I don't know what you mean. Are you telling me to install Windows 8.1? I can't because this windows is expired. I don't know what to do, please help me. :(

    What I am saying is that there is no way for you to have a Windows 8.1 Enterprise on your machine as a private user (unless it was the trial evaluation edition for 90 days.

    I explained why you could not buy a Key for it and advised you where to buy a Key:

    Try Amazon.com, but buy 8.1 as support for Windows 8 has ended.

    You are not using a legal copy of Windows as a private user.

    Hi,

    You can't buy a Windows 8 Enterprise License.

    Enterprise is sold via Volume Licensing/Software Assurance and that is for Corporations who buy multiple Licensing.

    Enterprise is not for private use.

    Try Amazon.com, but buy 8.1 as support for Windows 8 has ended.

    Cheers.
