Can't Connect

I try to connect to the server, but instead it just tells me that my account needs to be activated on Battle.net, then I try another time and it keeps saying connecting. What do I do?

What does the version (write the numbers in parentheses too) read at the bottom-left corner of WoW?

If it gets stuck connecting then simply restart WoW and it should fix that, else if it's still stuck on connecting, then WoW Freedom is possibly down.
