I updated my Mac from 10.6.8 to 10.9.5. When I try using my Parallels 7, it gives me a screen that asks for my activation key along with my User Name and Password. When I enter them, the screen vibrates and nothing activates. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Parallels, but it does the same thing. I don't think any of my information is incorrect because I have printed it right on my parallels disk. What should I try next?
ACTIVATION KEY DOES NOT WORK

Is Parallels 10 my best choice for replacement of Parallels 7.0? Will 10 be able to use the Windows XP I previously used to access my Window files? Will this also allow me to used my 'old' 2004 Microsoft Office where I have all my useful files (i.e.. passwords, hobby collections, etc)? Thanks, I would never have known P7 was not compatible without your help. Thanks again.
