    I have a similar problem - I had a subscription to the pro edition, but it expired at the end of June. Today I purchased an upgrade to Parallels Desktop 13, but when I try to activate the license (and after I give it the license key from the previous version) it tells me the key was not accepted by the license server. I'm stuck - cannot run windows and cannot seem to upgrade.

    I had thought I could upgrade to the "permanent" desktop license from the Pro/subscription. Was I wrong about that?

    Help would be appreciated. Your licensing policies are a bit confusing.

    Yes, you can only upgrade from a permanent license. From a permanent license, you can upgrade to permanent or subscription but not from a subscription. You can get a refund for the upgrade and purchase a full license.

    Hello, I have the same problem.
    I am using parallel 12. Started at a new company today, got the keys (old and new) and and give me the following error:
    The product key of a previous version of Parallels Desktop has been not accepted on the license server.
    I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi RachelG. We do not find any recent purchases under your email address. Did you buy a copy recently?

  9. @Carson1, did you purchase Parallels Desktop before? I've checked our internal system and didn't find any info about your previous purchase.

    Sadly, I'm in a bit of a rush. I just wanted to activate the program that I have before I leave the office and I wont have internet access at home.
     
  12. So, yo need previous key of Parallels Desktop for the Upgrade activation or request a refund and then purchase a full version of Parallels Desktop.
