    I have bought a paralell desktop licence, do i need again to buy a windows 2010 licence. After installing, my computer is still saying activate windows, see screenshop below.
    Upon buying the parrale desktop, I was expecting to get access to free office software as advertised, but I havent gotten any. Each time I download, I am suppose to pay for activation for almost all the available office softwares

    Hi Team,

    I have installed trial version to try it out and experiencing the same issue. I have initially copied win 1o pro from Boot camp which was an automatic picked up process and lost my activation had to call to Microsoft.

    Came to this forum and followed article suggested by Parallels team member in one of the reply; 1. install a new Win 10 (from ISO downloaded from MS website) using your product key. This did not work and same result, I was expecting a clean win 10 instead picked up my old boot camp one and still missing activation.

    Please advise if this is an on-going issue so can decide weather to buy your product or not. Thanks!

    Yes, you have to buy Windows 10 separately and activate it. Refer to the article for more details.

    The Windows key you have purchased is it Pro key or a different edition. Have you purchased from Microsoft or a reseller?

    I bought 3 windows 10 pro Keys from a reseller, the one used on Parallels was the only one that doesn't work.
     
  11. Hi, did you get any specific error message during the activation?

    I have downloaded Parallels 16 trial. I have a Windows 10 Pro license key which worked fine on VirtualBox and on a real PC, but doesn't work on Parallels (same Windows installation file). When trying to troubleshoot through Windows, it also doesn't let me log in to my Microsoft account, although all the credentials are correct...

    I have a license key for windows 10 pro. I was able to activate my windows 10 copy earlier with parallels. But I had to reinstall windows and now I can't get my windows to activate. I get an error message that says 'product key was used on another device'
