Yes.

The copy you have from UB is a Studnet edition and you need to register it with MS within I belive 30 days. You still have to pay for it to register it.

The only way to put Windows back on a computer legitimately without paying is to put the EXACT same version as what was originally on it and use the original SN(unless you get a new one from MS). Other than that you either go pirate or pay.

well, i do have the original one. but i tried it and it wouldnt let me do it (a few years ago when i was still in school). so i called the 800 number and they gave me a new code. can i use that trick above and grab that number and use it for a new install? what if i wipe the current one and install it on a new pc?
