It seems that I am required to have a Root Namespace specified in the project options for my Workflow Assembly. If I do not have a root namespace specified I receive the following error:
option 'rootnamespace' requires ':<string>'
I have currently only tried this in VB.NET and not C#, so I don't know if this happens in both languages.
Is this some sort of a bug I like to expicitly declare my namespace for each class and remove the root namespace.

Are the standalone Go-Live downloads updated with the each CTP release or are they fixed to a version (i.e. Jan CTP) From what I understand, development would be done using the WinFX download and when it came time for deployment I would need to deploy the standalone Go-Live version of the assemblies. If the Go-Live assemblies are not updated along with the WinFX CTP release then I truely am locked into the Jan CTP and must live the bugs and issues that are present. That would I cannot upgrade to the Feb CTP.

I can verify that this is a bug in the Beta 2 of the Windows Workflow foundation [the version installed with the Jan CTP]. I get the identical error when leaving out the Root Namespace on a workflow project and specifying the namespace as part of the workflow .vb files:
option 'rootnamespace' requires ': <string>'
vbc : Command Line
Line 0: Column 0

Yes this indeed was an issue in Beta2 and has been fixed in later builds.

Shelly's comment re Beta2 was most likely referring to the Beta2 of Windows Workflow Foundation, available via http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyId=A2151993-991D-4F58-A707-5883FF4C1DC2&displaylang=en and in the WinFX February CTP.
Regarding Go-Live Licenses, please note that the available Go-Live Licenses do not apply to the WinFX download/install. It only applies to the standalone downloads/installs for Beta 2 of Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows Communication Foundation. You can find more information on the go-live site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/winfx/getthebeta/golive/default.aspx and on the FAQ page of the go-live site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/winfx/getthebeta/golive/faq/default.aspx
