    Hi Kennedyo,

    To use an upgrade key, you are required to have a key used to activate an earlier version of Parallels Desktop.
    Should you not possess this, we advise that you purchase a full Parallels Desktop license.

    你好,刚刚购买了一次性产品,我不知道如何继续从密钥部分,它说"请输入以前版本的密钥",,我有之前的版本的激活码,但是还是提示无法使用。

    你好

    您似乎已经购买了升级许可证

    要使用升级密钥,您需要拥有用于激活早期版本的 Parallels Desktop 的密钥。

    如果您没有此许可证,我们建议您购买完整的 Parallels Desktop 许可证,我们可以退还您的升级许可证。

    I purchased a Pro license upgrade thinking I had a prior key, but I must have mistaken it for a different product. In addition, it appears the license I did purchase is stuck to a fake Apple email address that Apple generated when I first logged in, so I'd rather just get a full refund and start all over with this email address and just buying a full Pro license. Can you please refund me the purchase I made yesterday? If you need the email address it was purchased under, I can give you that as well. Thanks!

    Hello Bryan,
    Thank you for reaching out.
    Please note that you have purchased an upgrade license instead of a full version.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac upgrade license will require a previous version license to complete the activation and the full version license does not require any previous version license key.

    For more information, please go to the link https://kb.parallels.com/115399

    We can initiate a refund your pur purchase for the upgrade license and then you can purchase a full version using the link https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/buy/

    Let us know if you wish to proceed this way.

    Thanks

    Hi,
    I just tried to reinstall parallels. I was asked for both keys and when I entered both them I received a message "This license key was associated with another account. I have bought few versions over the years and apparently I have used different email addresses. Can you please help. I tried to ask for help in few other forums but so far to no avail. Thank you!
