Add Features will work if your PC is running Windows 8.1 Pro or, if you have bought Windows 8.1 Pro Pack. If the product key doesn't work, go to the product activation article for more info

As S.Sengupta pointed out, adding your key to the Add Features to Windows field will only work in some scenarios. To specify your product key explicitly, you can use the following command at an Administrative Command Prompt:
slmgr /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
Where XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX is your product key.
