We wanted to install the dvd because we wanted the HP CRAP removed from the
system on a HP MEDIA center m7750n. After 1 week MICROSOFT locked down the
computer made us re input the product key off the tower and was told by
MICROSOFT it was a pirated dvd. Any ideas y this happened
 
The Windows Vista Anytime Upgrade DVD is only
valid with a "retail" Windows Vista product key. It
will not be valid with an HP OEM product key.

Ask HP. Use their live chat support in your HP Help and Support Center.
There should be an icon for it on your desktop.
 
As I pointed out earlier, the Windows Vista Anytime Upgrade
DVD will only accept a RETAIL product key. If you performed
a clean install with this disc, you'll need to purchase a RETAIL
FULL VERSION license for Windows Vista Ultimate.

The Windows Vista OEM product key affixed to your HP computer
will only work with an HP recovery disc or a generic Vista OEM disc.
