    Hi all, exactly the same issue here. Just reformatted the HD, tried to reinstall parallels 9 and got asked to buy a new license because I have reached the (unspecified) maximum number of activations.. not keen to do that. Is there a solution? Cheers.

    We have made changes to 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
