Purchased windows 7 pro, says i need to do upgrade anytime but

[JTBALLER]

I purchased Windows 7 Professional through the Ultimate Steal.

Downloaded it, put it on a disk also.

It will go through the start of the setup and copy files etc, and then it will give an error and say to install from a current version of windows I need to use the upgrade anytim through windows.

But when I go to upgrade anytime it asks for an upgrade key, but all I have with the purchase was a product key and it says that I can't use the product key.

any help?

edit: also i have windows 7 home premium installed right now

and here is exactly what it says:

" To upgrade from one edition of Windows 7 to another edition of Windows 7, use Windows Anytime Upgrade. Cancel the upgrade, open the Start menu, and search for Windows Anytime Upgrade. "

I would guess you need to do the advanced install and get rid of the home edition...
