Vista ultimate - product key - installation

Hello!

I installed Vista Ultimate 32-bit on my notebook as test version from a
Vista Business Update DVD. Now I got Vista Ultimate and I tried to enter
activate the testversion with the Ultimate Key. But the activation server is
telling me that the key from my Vista Ultimate DVD is already in use.
Now I am wondering if I need to install Vista Ultimate from the DVD that I
got the product key from.
I thought it would not make a difference from which media you installed
Vista as long as your product key is valid.
(e.g. I did that with the Office 2007 test version: Tested Office 2007
standard which I downloaded form the internet and activated once I got the
installation DVD [without installing it from this media]).

Any suggestions/ideas?

Kind regards!
