OEM setup fails

Working on a friends system. It's an eMachines system. Comes with an OEM
copy of Vista Home Premium. Somewhere along the way she upgraded it to
Vista Ultimate which she has the boxed upgrade version with 32 and 64 bit
DVDs. For some reason it started asking for license key again so took it
from her to reinstall the OS.

When I try installing using the OEM DVD it says it only has 30 days to work
so I go to Activate. But when I do that it says the activation code I typed
in is invalid. Well duh I hadn't even typed anything in yet. What's up
with that?
