Strange message on Command

I started my 2012 e550 today like normal and the Command System came up with the initial warning message like normal, but after that I got a message saying "Anti-theft Protection Activated. Service Required". I tried turning the car off and restarting it, but I still get the same problem. I couldn't find anything in the manual about this. Does anybody know what happened?
