activation

[Essa]

Hi, I have reinstalled my windows vista home premium and i have entered the
key in the middle of installation and now there is only 1 day left for the
automatic activation. however i want to activate it right now after clicking
on Activate Windows Now it says
" The product key you typed is already in use, To activate windows you will
need another Windows Vista Home Premium key "
What does this all means, do i have to purchase a new windows vista key now?
