Problem with Vista Product key when deploying imaged downgraded XP images

We purchased a bunch of HP computers that were Vista business downgraded to
XP pro. Created a master PC and installed the apps required for all the PCs.
Then did a sysprep and created an image. When loading the image onto the new
computer I get to put the product key in and it fails. After thinking about
it I realise the COA on the computer is a Vista product key and the XP media
that comes with the HP PC does not list a product key on the CD. How do I
get an XP product key for each PC?

Contact HP - they sold you the downgraded license - correct?
