    You are welcome. It happened because your Parallels Desktop license key was used to activate more than one copy of Parallels Desktop. Please feel free to reach us anytime. We are here to help.

    Hi
    I took hard drive out of computer during repair and put it back it. Parallels requires activation and then will not allow me to reactivate.
     
  3. Hi, we've reset your key, please try to activate Parallels Desktop again and check.
     
  4. @MaryM2 please provide us with the results then.

    Hello,
    It did not work, received message:

    You have reached the maximum number of activations available for your activation key (http://www.parallels.com/eula). Please purchase a new product license.

    I looked at another post and found the terminal command which did activate it, but now the copy of windows cannot be found
     
  7. You cannot find Windows VM or get an error during starting VM?

    I'm having the exact problem. I need to activate Parallels 10 onto my new computer. Removed (erased) the Parallels on my old computer and still says I've reached the maximum number of activations.

    I've tried:
    1. Quitting Parallels, then tried activating after launch it up again.
    2. Opened Terminal and executed the command: prlsrvctl activate-license-online ...and still not working

    Is there another way to untie or delete my license from my older computer?

    I bought an SSD disk containing IOS. I re installed all apps and Parallel (updated to 11) asked me a key. I wrote the key of the update 11: HG9NHW-***** ...-53SZW2 that I received from parallel but I got the Error "This is an update key write the previous versione key" I have no other keys. What do I have to do? Thanks

    Hi Maria,
    I forget to sign out my PD11 account after I reinstall my MAC.
