I have installed on windows 8 and already activated via internet after a few days it pop up for activation again.
Autodesk 2008 products and its activation service are not compatible with windows 8. In fact, they are also not compatible with Windows 7. Only XP/Vista were supported for 2008 releases -- and neither of those OS are supported anymore.
Do you have Acad LT 2008 as well?
