recently we installed windows 2008 std by using the ms select license key,
after 2 weeks , system prompt to activate the license key.
is it something wrong with the license key or we need to activate the key ?

first time installed windows 2008.

All Windows 2008 product keys require activation.

There's nothing wrong with the license key.

You can see license status and partial product key from the command prompt:

slmgr -dli
slmgr -dlv
