Greetings, I got a torrent license key for Windows 7 and created an ISO image to be able to install/use Windows 7 through Virtual Box (guest pc).
A few days later, I got an Activation Message.'
Where did I go wrong? Will I need to purchase actual Windows 7 keys? (I hope not) Please see attachment for error. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Using a hacked key violates Microsoft's license. Yes, you have to buy Windows.
