The key is irrelevant until you come to activate Vista. You can even skip the point in setup where it asks for it.
Even if this weren't the case, it wouldn't stop you booting the DVD.

You'd be surprised how many people don't know about this. At work, we have a system where users can download various ISOs, and even though the system gives explicit and clear instructions on writing ISOs using most popular CD/DVD writing programs on the download page, a lot of people still get it wrong.
