Activate on this MAC does not work

Used apple migration tool to transfer old macbook to new macbook, then followed instructions to sign out of all apple accounts and re-imaged old macbook for sale. On new macbook I started parallels and used activate on this mac and it worked fine but this does not work with parallels toolbox, it keeps on telling me this license is already in use and keeps on offering the activate on this mac option or buy new. Removing and re-installing parallels toolbox does not make a difference and I see no reason to remove and re-install parallels desktop as it are two independant products for else why does each of them ask for a license. I have a combined subsctiption of parallels, parallels access and parallels tools.
I have removed parallels tools asI do not keep not working products on my macbook but when I pay a yearly fee I would like then products to work.
 
That is exactly what I am trying to do for days now as I only have one key for Desktop, Toolbox, and remote access. However, activate on this mac does not work with parallels toolbox
 
Could you try to activate again ( with Parallels Desktop key ), send Technical Data from Parallels Desktop and put report-ID here ?
It helps us to investigate your problem.
Thanks!

p.s.
How to Send Technical Data:
[Parallels Desktop icon in the Menu bar--> Help --> Send Technical Data ... ]
 
signed-out of both parallel's desktop licenses and removed both parallels toolbox installations (MacBook & iMac), rebooted both systems. Parallels desktop offers 2 licenses but parallels toolbox refuses to activate with mentioned license code on my iMac as license is in use on both machines. I then used my other code and Toolbox activated fine, I did the same on my MacBook and here also Toolbox activated fine on the same code.
I now have both parallel toolboxes running on this ONE code.
 
I will not remove Toolbox again and try to use the non-working license code to activate a new install as I have no faith in your problem solving skills upto now, I found-out the above myself.
Toolbox does not allow me to sign-out of a license as Desktop offers and I cannot see what license code Toolbox uses as that seems hidden somewhere deep in de MAC dungions.
The parallels support website does not show what license is being used on what computer (MAC address, name, etc) so I cannot verify what license code is used on what machine and if a license is released when I remove a Toolbox or sign out of desktop. All this does not help troubleshooting licensing issues. Maybe you should propose to improve the support website?
 
I have installed Parallels toolbox - free for Parallels user with license. But Toolbox says: Pay or test. I dont want to pay and not only test. I have activation key.
Support only possible by twitter and fakebook, I dont like them.
 
( with Parallels Desktop key ), send Technical Data from Parallels Desktop and put report-ID here ?
It helps us to investigate your problem i am sitedesigner.
Thanks!
 
Hello, I ended up being given a new MacBook Pro after mine kept having issues and could not be fixed using Apple Care, and am trying to install Toolbox. I no longer own my old MBP (gave it to Apple in exchange for the new one), and whenever I try to activate Toolbox it tells me that I have activated Toolbox on 3 computers (I have only ever had one Mac with this subscription my 2014 Mac, although this is my third Mac in total (2012 Air, old 2014 MBP, and now this new 2017 MBP), so I'm not sure how I would have even done this), and toolbox is telling me to buy a new subscription. I have no way of 'un-activating' my old computer(s) as I do not own them any longer. What do I do? I do not want to pay another 10 bucks on top of my pro subscription that included toolbox in it, as it seems like transferring a license from an old computer to a new one should be a reasonable request.

Hi Michael,
I have replied to you in personal messages with the instructions to fix this.

Parallels Toolbox - this product key is already registered to your parallels account
