No, the Google version doesn't need an activation key. BTW: also the version downloadable from Sun doesn't need one. It's a *licence* key, not an *activation* key. You will notice the difference once you use a program with "activation" and want to install it on a different machine when the software vendor went out of business. Then your "activated" program will quit working but the one with the valid registration key will still work once you entered the key.
