    I purchased Media Center add-on for my Windows 8.1 Pro laptop. Do I need to purchase another key for my tablet running the exact same OS or is the original key I purchased for multiple copies? Thanks!

    Yeah I should be able to buy a key and put it on all of my .. tens of millions of other computers.. which happen to be in other people's houses.

    Since MS has no way to know what computers you own personally, they just have you pay for each one.
