Vista Activation

[Sam]

I recently noticed the following concerning our VISTA installation and
activation.

I installed a fresh copy of VISTA business and at the 3 days to activate
warning, I enter our Volume License key and receive a successful activation.
A few days later I am recieve a pop-up notification that I have 26 days to
activate the same box I had already activated. I re-enter the Volume key
and it again successfully activates. I am concerned that I will need to
walk around and re-activate all my VISTA boxes or that some will expire due
to users not informing me of the activation pop-up. Any one else see this?
Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks - Sam
