    I had a virtual machine running Win 10. I had used a free license I got for having Win 8. I also have a vague memory of needing a special license for a VM?

    Anyway, the image became corrupt. I have upgraded to P15 and reinstalled Win10 in a new image. Now it is asking for an activation key of course.

    Is there any way to retrieve the key I originally used? Do I still need a "special" key to use it in a VM? Am I confusing two different issues?
     
  2. Hello, please check this article for more information about the MS Window activation.
    Please let us know if it's not that case.

    My existing Product Key which I received when I initially purchased Parallels many years ago
    HVK9H-HMHTC-3H4QT-B8VB8-QH29P
    Is someone trying to tell me that even though I have Windows 11 Pro installed, I need to shell out $$ for an activation key???
