Cannot activate Windows 10 after reinstallation error 0cx004c008

Mac: MacBook Pro 2016 2TB
Parallels version 12.2.1 (41615)
Upon a new installation of my Mac and Parallels I can no longer activate my Windows getting error: 0cx004c008
When I do a search in Google I get only on result pertaining to a downgrade from Windows 8 to 7.
My guess is this is an error relating to hardware change on my computer and that Microsoft cannot verify that this is the same computer as the one I used before although it is 100% the same, event the Windows 10 and Parallels installation file is the same.
I have tried to review Microsoft's website but all in vain.
@parallels support: what can i do except purchasing a new version of Windows to get it resolved?
p.s. I know I can contact Microsoft but we all know how difficult it is to get support from them.

Hi @PeterS23, we hope this forum post will help you in activating Windows virtual machine.
 
Dear Paul Chris,
Thank you very much for your suggestion. I have already tried that, it did not work.
Bottom line is I am kind of stuck right now.

Any ideas welcome
