Can't activate beta 3

Hello,

I have an activated and registered copy of Parallels for Mac build 1970 installed on my Mac.

Just now I downloaded Parallels for Mac Beta 3 (build 3106) and have installed it.

According to the article at http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/beta_testing/ it says that "If you are a current Parallels Desktop for Mac user this Update will use your existing activation key.".

This doesn't seem to have worked for me though. When I start up Parellels now, it tells me that "This copy of parallels desktop has not been activated".

When I try to activate it with the key I got with my original boxed copy, it then tells me "The activation key cannot be used with the current version of the Parallels Desktop!"

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

H.
 
Glad to see I'm not the only one!

The only "solution" I have come up with is to get a trial activation key and use that :(

Either that or just uninstall the beta and go back to using the boxed version.
