    Hi,

    Please disable the currently active key for PD version 10 on the backend.

    We have made changes to 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

    Hello haydn,
    The key you have is Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac. Are you trying to use Parallels Desktop 9?

    I have Parallels desktop 10 on an old machine that will not boot up due to my daughter throwing a cup of water on the keyboard.
    How do get PD 10 running on my new laptop. When I enter the activation key on the new laptop it says it is already used on another computer. The original computer is now dead.
