Incorrect Product Key on my Official Microsoft Product Key Sheet

Hi, I have just received my Vista DVD directly from Microsoft. I have gone to
install it and it asked me if I wanted to update from the internet, which I
allowed it to do. It then asked me to enter in the Product Key which it then
told me was incorrect! But I have double-checked my typing and it is exactly
as printed on the sheet. Does anyone know what is going wrong? And does
anyone know how to fix it? I can supply a scan of the sheet if anyone is
interested.
 
My disc hasn't even arrived, I ended up downloading.
have you made sure O is not zero and vica versa?
if it helps I have 5 sets of numbers/letters divided in my key (check to
make sure you have this)
 
Hi, I had been following the instructions - Stupid of me I suppose. What I
initially did was place the disc into the drive while running XP and tried to
install it while still under XP. When I rebooted and installed from scratch
the code was accepted.
 
The key works just the same whether you install from the XP desktop or by
booting from the dvd. Likely there was a simple typo.
