No you don't need a new product key what you do need to do is activate
windows again. It probably won't activate over the internet so you may have
to telephone the activation line (this is a free phone (toll free) number.

For more details on using the telephone option see this link from my
website: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product...ady_in_use.htm

This will show you how to do a phone activation. I don't know if it will
work in your case, but you can give it a try.

Activate Vista by Phone
