Just installed windows 7, need product key

[Max180]

Hi, I just installed windows 7 on software I purchased for another computer. I know you can't have but 1 license per computer and that computer only. My question is if I buy windows 7 upgrade. Will that give me a product key, and will I have to reinstall the software. Thanks for everybodys help in advance.

Was the other copy full retail or upgrade?

If it was the same upgrade as the other 7 version , yes it will work , but you will have to activate by automated phone call.

I bought a used computer that already had windows 7, but I wanted to clean all the files, doc, etc..
So, I used the upgrade disc to reinstall windows 7. I didn't realize I couldn't reuse the license key that was already there. Now I know 1 use, 1 computer.
