Parallels Desktop18 for Mac Standard Edition License Not Activating On Version18.3.3 (53627)

Upgraded to latest version of Parallels Desktop18 for Mac on my new M4 Mac Mini, and my existing version 18 license refuses to activate without upgrading. I paid for version 18, I've installed version 18, I expect to be able to use version 18. Parallels, why do I need to upgrade?

Screenshots attached for reference.

Within 30 minutes of posting I now have 2x version 18 licenses/keys available to select, and the new one allows me to successfully activate Parallels Desktop for Mac 18.3.3. Parallels I can only assume somebody read this post and took action, so thank you. For anybody else facing this same issue, I recommend reaching out via this forum.

Screenshots showing 2x licenses available, and successful activation of the new license.
