Please advise windows activation shows different , at one place it shows Windows activated and another place it shows Windows is not activated. What can be done to fix it, please advise ? This is a virtual machine installed on ESXi host. I have removed the product ID/Key for security reason.
Attached is the screenshot for the same - windows OS status is showing activated under system settings but under system properties, it’s showing windows is not activated.

    @Dave Patrick - Thanks, but shouldn't the activation status be similar across? Could this be a bug?

    Actually looking further at the screenshots it appears to be running the 180 day evaluation.
