Windows Vista Home Premium is Asking for Product Key Activation

Several months ago I went to another place - before I arrived, my good old best friend went to ACER service center  to fix his computer. During my stay, after several weeks with no problem, Windows Vista just stops working and asking for product key. Isn’t that odd? “This is my newly installed laptop and I've just sent it to ACER to fix. I’m doing important things right now… and this thing happened. I’m calling ACER right-now.” I told him to calm down and let me take a look first. Maybe it is just a security thing of Microsoft for anti-piracy.
