    Hello IanL6. Please quit Parallels Desktop now, launch it again and re-attempt the activation.

    Having damaged my old Macbook, I've just bought a new one and migrated all my programmes and files across to it, however I now cannot activate Parallels as I keep getting the message "You have reached the maximum number of activations available for your activation key (http://www.parallels.com/eula). Please purchase a new product license."
    Can someone help, please?

    Hi JohnP35. Please quit Parallels Desktop on the new Mac now. Then, open Terminal (from the Finder menu, navigate to Go -> Utilities -> Terminal), execute the command <><> prlsrvctl activate-license-online <><> inside the Terminal window, wait till the operation completes, close Terminal and re-attempt the activation.

    I made the mistake of installing Parallels 9 on Mac OS High Sierra. It installed but I had complications after reboot and ended up restoring my laptop from an older backup. I'm now trying to install Parallels on a supported OS (10.6) but now it's saying that I've reached the maximum number of activation.

    How do I reset my activations?

    Great. Thank you. It's activated. Why can't I register my copy of Parallels on the website?

    If this is about your Parallels 9 license, then the issue is probably caused by your license registered with a different Parallels account (mb****y@gr********tribune.com).

    How can I change this to my name? This was purchased on eBay. I can send pictures of the box, disk, and receipt. I am the new owner.

    Thank you so much for your help.

    mb****y@gr********tribune.com wishes to transfer this license to my account. What do we need to do?

    Hi,

    I have a similar issue - I had purchased Parallels Desktop 11 sometime ago, and activated this on a macbook pro that I have now sold. Can you reset my Parallels 11 activation key so I can re-activate it again. I tried with my key for version 10, but had the same issue.

    Matt

    You can remove the email address from your post. We have reset the activation key.

    You have reached the maximum number of activations available for your activation key (http://www.parallels.com/eula). Please purchase a new product license.
