lewmur Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I purchased the $40 upgrade to Win 8 Pro to test it out on one of my boxes. Then MS came out recently with an offer that allows a free upgrade to Media Center Edition. So, naturally I signed up for it. Now I'm reading about how pirates can use that offer to "activate" a pirated version of Win 8 Pro. I still haven't received the Activation Email for the upgrade and I'm wondering if MS has cancelled the free offer to avoid the piracy. Anyone know?

ross549 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I am betting Microsoft closed the loophole.... But I have not heard anything official about them doing so... Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 They would be foolish not to close the loop, but they still have to allow legitimate users to do get the free MCE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
