How can I deactivate my Parallels Desktop 10 license

Hi AsangD. We have made changes to the activation key . Please quit Parallels Desktop . Then, open Terminal (Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal.app). Inside the Terminal window, enter the command 'prlsrvctl activate-license-online' (without the quotes) and hit 'Return'. Wait till the operation completes. Then, close Terminal and re-attempt the activation.

 

Thanks a lot. I was able to re-activate the product on my new Mac mini.

 

Good to know. Please get back to us for any further queries.

Hi dant9. Please provide the first 6 digits of the license key that you are trying to activate.

 

I have similar problem here. My Macbook Pro logic board failed and needed to be replaced. I reinstalled Parallels after data migration and its asks for activation, but when I entered the activation key, received this error:

Your product activation key reached its activation limit and cannot be used to activate Parallels desktop, Please use a valid key or contact the Parallels team for assistance.

This activation key was on this computer before computer crashed, would you please help me for this?

Thanks,
Kevin

not able to reactivate windows 10 in parallels 14 on MacBook Pro 18
i had to restore my Mac and am not able to reactivate my windows 10 now
"0xC004F213" error on windows 10

is there any chance to fix that

 

well...I haven't linked my windows 10 with the digital license key to my microsoft account. Furthermore I must have received a windows key from parallels for windows and just got a key for parallels itself that I have access to.

is there no way to handle the issue
would it matter to reset my current parallels license, which would give me the chance to restart completely from a new beginning on

appreciate your support!

 

Hi @PaulW14 , Parallels doesn't sell Windows licenses and you will not be able to activate Windows virtual machine using Parallels Desktop for mac license key. If you haven't purchased any license keys for Windows, please purchase it from Microsoft.
