    The license problem is solved. Thanks a lot. However I have now the problem that I cannot open my old Windows11 virtual machine. I get the error message that my configuration file is invalid. Maybe you can support as well,.
    Thanks Robert

    Same problem here. I cannot deactivate a single license to switch to a new computer. Trying terminal gives this result.
    my@imac ~ % prlsrvctl deactivate-license
    Failed to deactivate the license: Unable to deactivate the product. Your type of license cannot be deactivated.

    Your website is really hard to make sense of. In 2022 I bought a "lifetime" subscription for Parallels Mac version 17. I've had major problems with both it, and my Mac. I want to re-install it, but can't find any place where I can get the installation files. All the links to "previous versions" are dead. Please would you send me the installation files for Parallels Mac Desktop version 17? I don't want 18, not 19, nor 20.

    Thank you.

    Sorry, not possible at the moment. I did not get the new M4 and did not install Parallels yet. So I will ask You again when the change is done.
    Better would be, when You could reset my activation limit now (in advance), thanks

    Hello,
    I have same problem !!
    Hi, I tried to install Parallels on my new M4 Mac MINI.
    Previously I had it on an Intel Mac. I tried to follow the instructions on your site, but unfortunately it did not work. Can you reset the license so that I can use it on this Mac? I would be very grateful for an answer.
    Error: "This license has reached the activation limit and can no longer be used to activate new product copies."
    Thanks

    I am trying to use Parallels for Mac 20 on a new Mac I just purchased (and move the license from an existing Mac). It keeps saying activation limit reached. I signed out of the old Mac, but there's no where on the web site inside my account that I can find to deactivate and existing installation so I can use on a new Mac instead. Why can't we just move these licenses as needed? Please help?
