okay so i have this question

I bought a windows 7 ultimate OEM key and then used it on my laptop and after that I formatted my laptop, reinstalled windows 7 ultimate again.

Can I use a different OEM key to activate my windows 7 ultimate again on the same laptop??
 
Solution
Yes, so long as the OEM key is for a OEM copy of windows 7 ult. However there should be no problems using the old key again. OEM keys are bound to the motherboard. Since you didn't change the motherboard you should be able to reuse the key.
