2k3 VM migration causing windows reactivation requirement

$

Hi , I am about to migrate a 2k3 PDC from VMware to KVM , I have already done a trail run and on first boot the VM is coming back with the following alert:

Since windows was first activated on this computer, the hardware on the computer has changed significantly. Due to those changes, windows must be reactivated within 3 days. Do you want to reactivate windows now

Has anyone been through the reactivation process before? is it as simple as putting a valid win2k3 key in or is it a more lengthy process? The reason why I am asking is I inherited this VM and the previous admins were shady to say the least, so I am a little paranoid something is going to go wrong.

I have had a look in Microsoft Volume Licensing and it looks like we have a legit version of win2k3, I just want to pre-empt any issues before they happen.
