    Hello, I've come across the same problem. I have bought the upgrade to Parallels 11 from the original installation of Parallels 8. Ive entered in both the upgrade key and the original key and no prompts allow me to activate the product. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Cheers!

    Hi Parallels, i just bought an upgrade to version 11 but i have installed version 8. I don't know about restrictions with upgrading (to 11 only from 9 an 10). What i should do? I don't want to pay twice for version Full. Please help. Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    I have Parallels 7 and just updated my OS X to El Capitan.... I guess I need a new full version of version11. But my problem is the data/software I used in my earlier version 7... is it gone or restored when I update/download version11?

    thanks in advance for any help!!

    monika
