Technet gave me non-genuine Windows 7 key?

So I recently built put a computer together in Edmonton and put a Windows 7 RTM key that Technet gave me. Now Windows 7 is saying that the key is not genuine. Anyone have this happen before? And should I contact Technet to correct it?

Edit: Or would I contact Microsoft?

Contact both (as they amount to the same thing). But ensure you're typing in the serial correctly. (O's vs 0's, I's vs 1's, etc.) I know that sounds obvious, but when I put Windows 7 RTM on my second PC here, I copied the key down wrong from technet and thought I got a bum key too.
