If you are having the key and disk you encompass is genuine then you be able to immediately do a clean install, or probably insert the key and activate on the other hand the information with the intention of an activation exploit was used might cause the genuine key to fail to activate. Either have the shop fix it right, remove the exploit yourself or perform a clean install.
