Re-installing Windows Vista

Hi people.

I re0installed Windows Vista with the "Windows Anytime Upgrade" CD and now
its telling me to activate windows. So I looked at the back of the laptop
where it says "Product Key:" and typed down the key. It then says its
invalid. I have read the product key again from the laptop back and even used
a magnifying glass, but everytime i typed it down and press "next", it just
says its invalid. What should i do? buying a new product key is too
expensive.help!

The "Anytime Upgrade" disc is only to be used to upgrade to
a different version of Windows Vista from the original version
that came preinstalled on your computer. You would need to
purchase a license for the "Anytime Upgrade" version of Vista
you installed, or reformat your drive and reinstall the original version.

See the following:

Just call the Microsoft "help" line and explain what happened. Under
most conditions they should be able to activate either the key you
have or give you a new one.
