Cause
SOLIDWORKS occasionally needs network access to "phone home" to SOLIDWORKS's licensing servers.  
Solution
To reactive SOLIDWORKS, make sure you have an active network connection, such as by launching a web browser and ensuring you can navigate to https://www.google.com.  Then, in the SOLIDWORKS Product Activation window, click Next, select activate "Automatically over the Internet", type in your @colorado.edu email address, then click Next.
