    Installed Windows 10 Pro on Bootcamp - went well -
    FYI - Macbook Pro 2018 MAC OS 10.13.6
    I installed Parallels on top and went well -
    but now I am getting "Windows needs activation" again and that it this key is "already used on another computer" -
    Had to get on phone with MS technician to get Windows activated again -
    He said that MS sees Windows running directly on Bootcamp and Windows being emulated on Parallels as two different hardware applications, even though it is just one installation and use -
    Has anyone run into this and is there a fix?
