    Hi all,

    I have been using Parallels Desktop for Mac with no problems until recently. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium from a Boot Camp partition. Installation was fine and Windows activated on both Boot Camp and Parallels. However, recently the Parallels OS has been asking me to reactivate Windows. When I try to, it says that I need a new key to activate. I have only have one day left before Windows stops working. When I use the Boot Camp OS, everything is fine. Please help.

    Thanks

    You will need to call the 800 number for Vista authorization and they will give you a new code over the phone after you tell them you are only using Vista on one machine. When I upgraded Parallels to the newest version, I also had this problem- but it was easily resolved over the phone.
