Need trial version of PD 13 to work

I have PD v11. I need to use MacOS Server in order to set up a VPN server. I have to do this within an install off MacOS High Sierra. I am running MacOS Sierra as the host OS. I do not want to install High Sierra natively on my PC because some apps are not compatible with the new MacOS. So I need High Sierra to run inside of a VM. If I take this approach, I will need to upgrade to v13 of Parallels Desktop. VMs do not run as efficiently as native apps would on the host PC. Use of a VPN server will further degrade performance. Due to these issues, I want to know if the running of the MacOS Server from within a VM of Parallels Desktop 13 will perform we'll enough for my uses. I tried to install and activate the 14 day trial version of Parallels Desktop 13. It will not activate for me. I end up with the message: "The email address you entered is already registered. Make sure that you typed your email address correctly or sign in using your registered account.". I am already logged into my account. This is far as I have been able to get.

What is causing this to happen? Is the trial period no longer available to me? Is it still possible for me to test out this configuration with a copy of PD v13 before my actual purchase? If I find that this approach using Parallels will work for me, I will be subscribing to Parallels Desktop Pro 13.

Thank you.
 
I'm having the exact same issue in regards to using the trial. It keeps telling me that my email is already registered and to log in. I was logged into my new account. Seems like a bug for sure. Hopefully there is a fix? I'm very interested in buying parallels, but I definitely want to try it out first and see if it works for my workflow over using bootcamp. Please help us! :) thanks

Hi , we have an ongoing issue on our end in trial activation and it has been already notified to the concerned team and we are working on it. Meanwhile you can try signing out and signing in from Parallels Desktop for Mac application and check if that helps.
 
Same problem here. I've tried with two different existing Parallels accounts. and also created a new account. Have signed out/signed in several times. All attempts were w/o success
 
Hi. I am also struggling to activate a trial version of Parallels 13. It keeps taking to me to my account to sign in even though I am already signed in and it doesn't come up with an activation page as the website suggests it should? How can I proceed - its very frustrating!
 
When I open the software and I get an initial window with a 'play' botton. When I click on this the log in window opens (attached). When I enter my details I get the 'internet connection problem' window (attached) where I then follow the link to my account.
