    I have just migrated to a newer laptop and when I ran Parallels Desktop, V10, it automatically upgraded to version 11. Now I dont have a version I can run. How can I downgrade back to version 10?
     
  2. Hello, you can download Parallels Desktop 10 from this KB article and activate it with your license key.
    Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Maria,

    downloaded legacy version and tried to use key to activate but it failed with message that it has reached its activation limit. As I have moved to a new laptop how can I deactivate the old copy? This occured after I got the message saying I could activate on the new laptop and deactivate on the old one.

    Hi, please do a sign-out from your Parallels Desktop application on the old computer, click on the Parallels Desktop menu, and select Account & License. In the activation window, click on your account email address and select Sign Out. For more information, please refer to ( https://kb.parallels.com/123461 ) and then try activating on the new computer. Thanks.

    how do I DM you?

    FYI, the legacy licenses table shows 7 versions being licensed. Could we clear versions 10 and 11? That way, I can use the most appropriate one, if 11 doesn't work can use 10.
