    If this is not resolved today i will ask my bank to block payment and get my money back as you have not provided a product nor services to me to get it working.
     
  3. Hello, we've made necessary changes, please check the issue.

    Thanks Maria, I've been able to activate one of my Parallels 16 installations, but the second license won't activate. Same error with server not accepting previous license.
    I also can't activate one of my Parallels 15 installations on one of my other Macs

    Maria, to clarify me previous post, I need to use Parallels 15 for some applications until the problem with external USB drive in Parallels 16 is resolved. I have previously submitted a case [Parallels #3001550] USB Drive not connecting to VM, but still have no resolution to that matter.
     
  6. Hi, we would like to ask you check the same behavior with the newest Parallels Desktop 17 version and let us know the results.

    Just installed PD 17 but with same result, external USB connects but does not appear in windows. I still use Windows 7 due to need of legacy windows programs. Can you please restore my Parallels 15 license so i can use this.

    I've also just installed PD 17 but unable to activate because the previous PD 12 activation key does not work.

    The worst part is that the live chat support seems pretty down. I've received absolutely no response for the past one hour. Its rather disappointing that your support service is so bad.

    Make sure both your Parallels Desktop 15 and the Parallels Desktop 14 license keys are registered to the same Parallels Account to activate it successfully. If the issue persists, please send pm with the details. Thanks.

    All my Parallels versions are registered under the one and same Parallels account and always have been.
    I had no problems until recently when you changed the license verification processes on your system!
    How do send you a pm with the details?
     
  17. Hello,
    we've just sent a PM to you. Please check your inbox and reply.

    Actually, I have a similar issue. Just a couple of days ago, I upgraded Parallel for Mac Pro Edition after a few days of free trials has completed. I did type in the activation code that I had received from Email, however, the app kept asking me for the activation code from the old version (obviously which I do not have as this is my very first time of using Parallel). The issue hasn't been sorted out yet. I've written an email about the situation. I am still waiting for their reply. Hopefully, things will get sorted out. Otherwise, I will not be able to continue working on my projects as some of the softwares are only available on Windows and not supported on Mac OS. I wasn't able to attend a few classes because of this complication.

    Hello, after using trial version, you need to purchased full version of Parallels Desktop license key. Upgrade key only works, when you already have a previous version license key. Please help us with your upgrade purchased reference number so that we can initiate a refund for you and then you can purchase a full version of Parallels Desktop.
