    I have Parallels 10 and my Mac crashed and i have moved my drive to a second Mac while I mail out other for repair and need to move license to second Mac but when I try to activate I get the same message everyone is complaining about that I have reached my limit on activation. Would be nice if you could give us the ability to remove license from machines under our account. I need my license cleared from old motherboard serial number so I can activate on this machine until I receive other back from repair Please.

    I am having a similar problem with v12. As the knowledgeable article directed, I signed out of my Parallels account from inside the Parallels program on my old Mac, and dragged the Parallels program to the trash. Now I cannot activate Parallels on my new Mac. Can you fix my product key?

    What the hell Parallels? You don't let me activate my software that I purchased. You don't answer the phone. You don't fix the problem. Do you think I'm going to keep recommending your software to my clients?

    I would like to transfer my parallels desktop to another machine but fail to deactive the current license, it said "Failed to deactivate the license: Unable to deactivate the product. Your type of license cannot be deactivated." when I use the following command "prlsrvctl deactivate-license". Could you help me to resolve this issue?

    We have reset the activation key. Please follow the instructions below:
    1. Quit Parallels Desktop, then try to activate after launching it again.
    2. If you are still unable to activate, Open Terminal on the Mac and execute this command: prlsrvctl activate-license-online

    Note: Parallels Desktop 10 is not compatible with Sierra or newer macOS X versions.
