VMware windows 7 Piracy Issue

[dumb]

I have a boot camp partition for my Windows 7 and I use VMware fusion to access that partition.
Lately I started getting this prompt from Windows which tells I may be a victim of Piracy. If I run the validation tool, it does not like my Serial Key.
However, when I boot into the Windows Partition (w/o VMware) and if I run the windows Validation, it validates my copy and everything is fine. But if I run windows from VMware I get the same prompts again.

P.S I do have a valid copy of windows 7. I updated it to SP1 and vmware to the latest version also.

You will need to call MS and explain your situation. Had the same issue and a quick call to MS fixed it

You need to install VMWare Tools in Windows otherwise you will continue to be prompted for reactivation.

Thanks, I did the automated activation, it was successful.
@chrfr I had that installed, also tried this link, which was a complete waste of time.
