Product Key Not Accepting

I was trying to verify my copy of Windows Vista and although I typed the key
in correctly, it just wouldn't accept the code. Could someone help me?

Check the key out in good lighting, perhaps using a magnifying glass.
Commonly 8 is mistaken for B, 0 for O, etc.

Zeros and Oscars cannot be confused because neither is ever used in a
product key.

These characters/numbers do not occur in product keys:
A E I L N O(Oscar) S U Z 0(zero) 1 5

IOW: "Each character is one of the following 24 letters and digits:
B C D F G H J K M P Q R T V W X Y 2 3 4 6 7 8 9
