I installed Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) on another computer as my old drive crashed. The old key that I entered does not work. What should I do?

My laptop crashed and I started my laptop to another and installed Windows 7 above.  I tried to activate with my old Windows 7 Ultimate key (which was on my dead computer) but it does not work.  What should I do?  Hope I didn't buy the new Windows 7 key.

Windows 7 Ultimate come preloaded on your old computer?
