About a month ago, when I went to the Windows Update site, it was necessary for me to download and run the "Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool" in order to continue to use Windows Update. Having never gone through any kind of MS product activation before, I don't know if this is the same, similar, parallel, or a replacement method of license validation ... but anyway, it was quick and painless.
