ETA: In any case, even though the offer is missing from the Kobo homepage just now, the offer is still working.
I'm about in the same boat. I had a VirtualBox image with a preview of Windows 8 from where I claimed a similar offer from the Nook app... I booted it up and when I attempted to download the Kobo app, it told me I needed to update to Windows 8.1... I downloaded the trial image last week, but haven't loaded it to a VM yet.
