    Can you reset my registration key for Parallels Desktop 10?
    I am trying to move a license form an old Mac to a new one (and cannot access the old Mac). I tried the terminal command approach (prlsrvctl activate-license-online) and still get the "Failed to activate the license: Unable to confirm the product license. You have reached the maximum number of activations available for your activation key (http://www.parallels.com/eula). Please purchase a new product license." message. Thanks.

    We have reset the activation key. Please follow the instructions below:
    1. Quit Parallels Desktop, then try to activate after launching it again.
    2. If you are still unable to activate, Open Terminal on the Mac and execute this command: prlsrvctl activate-license-online
    Note: If you have macOS X Sierra or above, purchase Parallels Desktop 14 and use.

    Hi,
    My mac was stolen, and I am trying to activate the licence on the new mac. I received a message saying that the maximum number of activations available was reached.
    I also tried to execute the "prlsrvctl activate-license-online" command in Terminal, but it says the key was "blacklisted".
    Thanks for your help,

    We are unable to find any activation key on your account. We request you to register the activation key in your account then check the activation key is for the same version installed or not. You can also let us know after registering the license key in your account to check and assist you further.

    My old iMac recently died so I'm unable to deactivate the current licence. Can you please help me with this so I can reinstall on my replacement computer? Thank you.

    I moved from my old macbook pro to a new mac mini.
    I cannot move my activation key for Parallels Desktop 10.
    prlsrvctl activate-license-online did not work (You have reached the maximum number of activations available for your activation key)
    I cannot disable my action key on my old mac, there is no option for this.
    Please help, this is such a hassle. Just imagine if every other app I paid for was such a hassle to move. But it is just your app, all my other paid apps moved fine.
    Please deactivate my activation key on any other Mac than my one and only Mac Mini.
     
  17. Hi, I didn't find Parallels Desktop 10 key in your account. Could you please send it via pm and we will reset it for you.

    Same problem today - trying to move Parallels 10 to a new Mac laptop. There is no option to deactivate the license on the current laptop. I uninstalled. But new laptop provides no option to acknowledge that the license has been uninstalled on the old machine.
     
  20. Hi, your key has been reset, please check the issue reply us back with the results.
