I have tried downloading the windows 8 / 8.1 ISO using my OEM product key and it told me that:

"this product key cannot be used to install a retail version of windows 8".

I am concerned even if I do acquire a 8.1 ISO (it remains to be seen from where), do a format and clean install, it will reject my OEM license.
