    Hi, I can't seem to activate parallel on my new mac. My old mac was trashed and no longer accessible. There's no way I can deactivate on my old mac. Can I transfer and activate my license on my new MacBook? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    After logging out and un-installing Parallels-15 from a MacBook Pro am I returning, I re-installed it on my old laptop but get the following "This license has reached its activation limit and can no longer be used to activate new product copies." I have also un-installed Parallels-15 and re-installed it on my old laptop, but getting the same issue. Note: I have done this twice within a month (2 new laptops with overheating issues, and both were returned), so is there a limit for logging-off & un-installing the app for registration?

    I have parallells on two machines and have historically been able to deactivate one and activate the the other without any issue. It has been 6 mos since i did it last but when i tried this AM, I get the "This license has reached its activation limit and can no longer be used to activate new product copies." Is there a trick?

    We have reset your key and we do not suggest to switch the keys frequently. That option is only provided to transfer the license if you change the Mac.

    Can you please reset my old key for Parallels 11 licence, I had a licence for 2 computers and when I upgraded it only gave me 1. I upgrade laptops and parralels and I can't use the old one any more as I sold the old MAC but I could use on my desktop. I would prefer 2 licences for 16 :)
     
  13. Hi, done, please check

    Like all these other people, I too need my licenses cleared so I can install Parallels 9 (don't laugh) on a new Mac mini. I've sent a message on Facebook but I'd like to post here as well since I need this cleared up ASAP...

    We have reset the activation key. Please follow the instructions below:
    1. Quit Parallels Desktop, then try to activate after launching it again.
    2. If you are still unable to activate, Open Terminal on the Mac and execute this command: prlsrvctl activate-license-online

    Note: Parallels Desktop 9 is not compatible with El Capitan or newer macOS X versions.

    Thanks!
    I'm all set.

    And yes, the Mac mini is running OS X Yosemite.

    I got the same problem. I can't activate the desktop license on my new mac although I have signed out of the old mac and uninstalled parallels on it.

    I tried to install my PD 10 license on my new mac. But no luck. I'm not able to sign out from my account on my old mac because it's not possible. Please help.
