How to activate Windows 8 bootcamp installation in Fusion 5?

$

I saw some KB articles and posts about installing and activating in bootcamp, which I've done, then launching the bootcamp installation under Fusion, installing VMWare tools, and activating again from VMWare, and then finally activation one more time when back in Bootcamp.

 

Where I'm stuck is that under Fusion, Windows 8 is telling me that it's not activated (which is correct) and that the key is already used by another installation, also correct.  And it's saying I need a new key (I assume that means a new license?) to activate again in bootcamp.

 

Am I missing something?  Do I now need two licenses to run Win8 in bootcamp and as VMWare Fusion 5 guest?

 

Thanks folks
