    Hello. I've been using Parallels Desktop 10 on my Mac for years. Today, when I attempt to run it I'm getting a notice asking me to activate and when I enter the license #, I get a message saying number of activations exceeded. What is the resolution?

    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

    Hello.
    Trying to migrate from one computer to another, when activating a license, I'm getting an error: "Your product license has reached the activation limit.".
    How can I activate my license on the other computer?

    Hi,
    I need to deactivate the previous registration of my product key and start over. Can you please help?
    We have a user who needs to use parallels but can't because of this error message -
    "Your Product Activation Key Reached Its Activation Limit..."
    The previous users have already left the company.
    Thanks
     
  13. Hi, please provide us with the license key and email address which has been used for the license registration.
    Please send the requested info via private message.

    Hi,

    Hardware problems with my Mac, temporarily using another one, and also getting the "Your product license has reached the activation limit" message.

    How do I solve this?

    I tried this link: https://kb.parallels.com/123461. but I don't see the sign out option and also don't get a "activate on this mac".

    Thanks.
     
  19. Hi, I didn't find the license key in your Parallels account. Could you please send it to us via the private message?

    I am also having an issue moving Parallels. I installed v11 yesterday on my laptop but today needed to move it to a different laptop today (sigh I know). I removed it from my old laptop but it's giving me the "Your product license has reached the activation limit" message upon activation as well.
