Hello - I haven't used Parallels in year, but I have a reason now. When I attempted to use my key, it says "This key cannot be used to activate Parallels Desktop", "This is a key for Parallels Desktop Business Edition...". When I try to download the business edition, it gives me the same error. What can I do to use it?
Returning user - cannot use legacy key because business reason
