From W8.1 onwards, the key is embedded in the BIOS and communicates with MS's servers. You can skip the prompt for a key for now. Once you're back online, it should activate just fine*.
*Unless you've previously upgraded to Windows 10 - at which point, the key essentially gets absorbed and associated with W10.
