Windows needs activation! What do I do?

If Windows tells you that it needs to be activated, or that your copy may not be legitimate, just go through the standard activation process inside the OS. The correct CD key is pre-loaded for all of our Windows installs, so it will succeed, and you will not receive further messages.
The best way to do this is usually to log in through Remote Desktop and use the dialog it immediately presents you, selecting "Activate now" followed by "Activate Windows online now".
