Symptoms
Windows needs to be activated message seen on CS1 and/or CS2.
Cause
The service installed by Windows requires an internet connection to verify.
Resolution
The message displayed by Windows is of no concern. This is seen on many of our systems installed. This is because Windows generally requires a connection to the internet to verify the license. Dell/EMC has a global license and MMCS/CS are not connected to the internet. This message can be ignored. The message cannot be removed as the service installed by Windows that creates this message cannot be removed.
