When I purchased Parallels, it was via this web site. I am a UK resident, but cannot remember whether anything happened during installation or activation that would make my copy a 'localized' version or not. Can I upgrade to the official 2.5 release without worrying about the localization issue?
If you purchased it via parallels.com site than you have standard US version. You can upgrade it directly from site and your key will work with new version.
Thanks for the reply. I have also now seen this comment from the official blog: Here's the URL: http://parallelsvirtualization.blogspot.com/2007/02/its-here-get-parallels-desktop-update.html
