How to acquire Windows 8 installation media

$

I attempted to dual boot opensuse with windows 8 on my laptop which somehow led to a boot problem. To fix the problem I had to do a clean install of windows which wiped out all the data and hard drive partitions.

 

The only problem now is that I have an unactivated version of windows 8 which I cannot activate.

Since I bought the notebook with windows preinstalled that means I also paid for the windows serial key (licence) and I don't see why I should have to part with 200 dollars to get a licence I already own.

I know the warranty doesn't cover software but I also know the manufacturer can provide the windows installation media for free or for a modest fee (since I already own it) upon request, so my question is: How do I make a request for the installation media, at what cost if any and how do I collect it?
