Windows reactivation error on linked clones

Recently started getting an error on VMs in one of the pools i manage. When accessing the VMs through View Client, i get an error that a significant hardware change has occurred and windows must be activated. However, when i access the template image I get no error and dont even have the option to reactivate. I've tried reverting my snap shot, deleting all the VMs in the pool and even making a whole new pool pointing to an updated snap shot. I keep getting the same errors on the clones. Any ideas?
