Issue with software liscences running Windows from Bootcamp Partition

Hi, I tried a trial version of Parallels 12 using a windows 8.1 pro partition I already had on my late 2011 Macbook Pro.
When ever I opened a program in my Windows VM it would initiate a new software license request for that program. Programs were Autodesk Inventor and Solidworks 2016.
Is there a way to avoid this issue while still keeping my bootcamp partition?

Thanks

Hi Raj, thanks for the response. My issue is that I activated the program in the boot camp virtual machine. Every time I started the virtual machine it would trigger the program to ask for an activation code. Is this because I am running the virtual machine from the boot camp partition? If import windows from the bootcamp partition into parallels desktop will this resolve my issue?

Thanks
