Can I transfer the software to another computer or user? You may transfer the software to another computer that belongs to you. You may also transfer the software (together with the license) to a computer owned by someone else if a) you are the first licensed user of the software and b) the new user agrees to the terms of this agreement. To make that transfer, you must transfer the original media, the certificate of authenticity, the product key and the proof of purchase directly to that other person, without retaining any copies of the software. You may use the backup copy we allow you to make or the media that the software came on to transfer the software. Anytime you transfer the software to a new computer, you must remove the software from the prior computer. You may not transfer the software to share licenses between computers. You may transfer Get Genuine Windows software, Pro Pack or Media Center Pack software only together with the licensed computer.

AFAIK, you can transfer it to another computer, but you have to call Microsoft in order to obtain a new key. I understand that this done by an automated machine on the phone.

Not on windows 8 you use the same key. You just have to remove the OS from the old PC and install the same Widows 8 and key.

I don't know all the details, I have been searching the net have not found any more information on what happens when you activate on transferd PC.
