Do I have to buy a new license if my hard drive breaks down?

I recently bought an upgrade from vista to windows7. I have everything backed up before upgrading, but couldn't do it once the upgrade is complete. About 3 days after I installed upgrading of primary and secondary hard drives both failed... Obviously, portable hard drive do not last as long as computers desktop and 5 years is a long life of your laptop, or so I thought. in any case, I have two new 750 GB momentus xt hybrid SSD of HD and I'm ready to rock but no OS because the key does not work since is not attached to the HD crashed. Any ideas? Please help, I am already tired of using my laptop to marry; his old and say that it is the turtle, and not the rabbit would be cruel to the turtle.

Like you bought an 'upgrade' I presume that you have actually installed as such on your failed HARD drive now.

With a new drive HARD vacuum, you have no earlier version of the OS (Vista) for the drive of W7 upgrade to recognize.

This may be a workaround,

or if it does not work you can try this method of double installation Vista, which is a valid path to a clean install.

If it will not always turn on then you are going to have to plead your case to MS via the telephone support option.

It is up to you to ensure that your license is valid and that you do not violate the EULA
