Are you also using a MSDN CD?
Different types of Product Keys are not always interchangeable with
different versions of CDs.

Otherwise contact MSDN Customer Service:

Generally, these errors are caused by one of the following:

1. Trying to use a retail key on volume license media
2. Trying to use a 32 bit key on a 64-bit media (or 64 bit key on 32-bit
media)
3. Trying to use an Enteprise key on Standard media (or the reverse)
