    Hi, I've got my Parallels 11 license and changed my laptop (from a MBA to a MBP) but I am getting a 'You have reached the maximum number of activations available' when activating the product. Can you please help me ?

    And for me. When having hardware issues you end up jumping around different logic boards. There's a bunch of reasons to move between computers. I can understand only allowing one computer at a time (although lame and money hungry as that is, it's apparently the EULA) however there really seems to be no way to actually remove the key (as Parallels says it will if you choose to do so) and apply it to another computer, instead you're counting activations total and blocking users. Surely you can improve this and actually allow moving the key between computers.
    Anyhow, can you please reset my key. Thanks.

    I have the double bad luck to own a MacBook Pro which needed a motherboard card change twice recently, and a Parallels Desktop 10 activation key which therefore doesn't work anymore. :(
    Can you reset it please?
    Thanks

    I'm having the same issue as described above. I've uninstalled parallels on my old machine, but have reached the maximum number of activations (likely due to repeated logic board replacements with the old computer).

    Parallels Support: Anyone listening here?
    Moving to a new Mac I need to have my license key reset. Cannot work while activation gets refused. No option to de-activate Parallels Desktop 10 on old Mac. No movement option anywhere.
