The key for Vista Ultimate is included in the package when you purchase
Ultimate.

You can use Vista anytime upgrade to purchase Ultimate at a discount if you
already have a valid Vista key for a different version.

You would need to purchase a license for Windows Vista Ultimate edition
if you wish to upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium edition.

You can't. You need to buy a copy of Vista Ultimate, either an upgrade
copy, or the Anytime Upgrade, or a full copy.

You can't.

Purchase a legitimate license; it'll come with its own Product Key.
