    Restoring data from Time Machine rendered the installation of brew and python packages completely useless and I may have to do a fresh install of OS X on my new MBP. Do I have to do anything to maintain the parallels desktop 10 license before I erase the hard disk and perform a fresh install, or do I have to request another deactivation and re-activate after OS re-install?

    Hello -

    I just transferred my user data to a new Mac via TimeMachine restore. I have deleted Parallels application from my old computer. I have run the terminal command. I am still receiving the account error "Unable to confirm product license. You have reached maximum number of activations".

    Would it be possible to have my license key reset?

    1. Quit Parallels Desktop, then try to activate after launching it again.

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use my license on a new machine after my previous one stopped working, how can I revoke the license without being able to access the original machine?

    Hi I'm trying to Activate parallels 10 on my Mac and keep getting a connection error: "Failed to activate the license: Unable to confirm the product license. The operation failed due to a connection problem. Please try again later or contact the Parallels support team for assistance." My support code is 77866-19537. I tried rebooting and all of the other suggestions in here including running the prlsrvctl command from terminal. I think my license key needs to be reset like everyone else, could someone please do this for me?
