Reinstall Vista Upgrade

I just got a brand new Sony VIAO w/ Vista Home, I immediately installed a
Vista Ultimate upgrade I had already purchased. After that I found out Sony
messed up and didn't send me the hardware they were supposed to. I have a new
Laptop on the way - but am not sure if when I try to reinstall my upgrade if
it will say I already have used it...

Please let me know

Yes it will say you have already activated that upgrade key - so you will
have to activate over the telephone.
The activation wizard will walk you through this.
