If they did not provide you with the media, the product key and the
certificate of authenticity then it is not legitimate.
What you have here is a back street shop just using one of their licenses to
do you machine and handing it back - this is not what a professional upgrade
should do.
They must provide you with media, product key and certificate of
authenticity.
As without these you do not even have a legitimate license.
Ask yourself this - what do I have that proves I have a license for Windows
Vista Ultimate? Currently nothing.
You need to have at the very least a certificate of authenticity and a
product key (the COA is usually on the media package or may be on a piece of
paper) - see

Stop worrying about what you did and get the shop to prove that you have a
genuine Windows Upgrade by providing you with what they must. Otherwise
there is a serous risk that you are paying for effectively pirated
software - as you have no proof to the license you are claiming and the shop
is not providing you with the evidence you require,

ModZezima,
You should also report that business to Microsoft to help prevent it
from happening to others.

The only way to get your system genuine is by using a valid product key that
you have the COA for.
So the shop as discussed must provide these. If they cannot or will not
then you will have to purchase another retail upgrade package and use the
key from that. This will obviously cost you.
Unfortunately you may not just use a friends key or anything else as even
with a key you are still not in legal possession of a valid license to use
the Ultimate Upgrade without the COA etc.
