    I just purchased a M4 MacMini and need to use Parallels on it but it won't let me activate it. My old intel mac currently has Parallels on it. I couldn't find a way of deactivating it on my older intel mac so I can use it on my new mac. Please help.

    To deactivate Parallels on your old Intel Mac and activate it on your new M4 Mac Mini:

    1️⃣ On your old Mac: Open Parallels, go to Preferences > Subscription, and click Deactivate to free up your license.
    2️⃣ On your new Mac: Install Parallels, sign in with your Parallels account, and activate it using your license.

    If you still face issues, contact Parallels support for assistance.
