Do I need to move License/Product Keys to a new computer?

Hello all.

I hope someone can help me understand restrictions (if any) I need to
consider before purchasing my new computer and moving Vista over to it.

I've searched the Internet and I can't seem to find a solid answer on this
issue.

I purchased Vista Ultimate a couple of months ago. Recently, I've decided
it's time for a new computer system. I do not purchase name brand computers.
I custom make mine. So basically I will be buying a new motherboard, case,
video card etc etc and building a new machine.

My concern is how to transfer my product key or license, or if I even need
to do so?

Can I just build the new computer and then insert my Vista Ultimate DVD and
install as normal? Or do I need to "remove" or "deactivate" the
license/product key from my old computer first? I just don't want to run
into issues when installing or activating Vista on the new machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. :)
