Updating to Parallels Desktop 11 and it doesn't recognize key from previous version

I recently had to replace my hard drive on my Macbook Pro. I previously had Parallels 7 and hadn't used it for a while. I was having issues activating it so I figured it was probably time to upgrade to the latest version. I purchased the upgrade version of Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac. After installing, I enter the activation key for the new product and it is accepted. Then it asks me to confirm it with a key from previous version. Lucky for me, the key was still in my account when I logged in. I entered it but it's not giving me the option to activate but only to "Buy" or "Try Free for 14 days"
Can somebody please help me to get this activated. Thank you.
JB
