    I think most of Parallel users has this problem... I have two computers for personal use but now one Mac can't use Parallel after reformatting... It is a common question why reply it with private message.. In fact, this is the reason I don't want to move to Parallel 10. Would you tell me what should I do to bring up Parallel again? Best regards, Kevin

    Hello guys,

    Unfortunately I have the same issue with my key. I've got the window on my new Mac Pro - Your Product Activation Key Reached Its Activation Limit...

    What should I do next to reset the Activation Key?

    Hello,

    I'm using parallels 9 and my macbook pro was out of order.

    The motherboard was changed in the AS center and I cannot use the parallels in the same computer because of the activation limit.

    How can I reset the key of the OLD motherboard?

    Hi,

    Was it reset? When?

    I had waited your reply but I had to buy parallels 10 yesterday, because I really had to use parallels ASAP.

    What a waist...........

    Hello. I recently upgraded to Parallels 10 for Mac, and installed the upgrade on my 3 computers. However, I just upgraded my desktop computer at home to the iMac Retina, and tried to install Parallels 10 for Mac. But I received the message "Your product activation key reached its activation limit..."

    Is there a way for me to deactivate the installation on my old desktop Mac before selling it, and free up the third activation key for the new iMac Retina?

    Thanks!

    I had to buy the Parallels 10 because of the activation limit of parallels 9.
    But the parallels 10 was rebooted unexpectedly in 3 times and was freeze in 2 time within 2 days.
    I cannot use the parallels 10.
    How can I get the refund and downgrade to parallel 9?

    Activation Key Reached its Activation Limit

    I would like to buy PD10 but 9 haunts me with, (Activation Key Reached its Activation Limit)
    I have 2 seats of PD9 one for my wife one for me we both have laptops and desktops
    she's fine

    I have Parallels installed on external 840 pro SSD with Yosemite "very fast", when I boot it from laptop i get (Activation Key Reached its Activation Limit) am also afraid to do a clean install for fear of getting this error! and losing my seat.

    I do a lot of clean installs for testing and development
    Help
    Is there a way to deactivate?
    I only use one seat at a time
    I've read VMware doesn't have this limit to use the "ONE SEAT I paid for! " when and where I want

    Please reset my Activation Limit
    (I read somewhere each user (seat) is allowed 2 activations and that can only be reset on parallels servers, mine must have been used up in clean installs)

    or teach me how to deactivate, not uninstall,
    that won't help if you have already done a clean install or
    simply moving external SSD install to mac in different room (pointless)
    I have paid for 2 seats
    I have one rented house, 2 Parallels seats, 5 macs's, 1 wife 1 child and countless external drives
    buying more seats than I have people just isn't Right
    want to upgrade!
    and will Pay Parallels every year, if i can get this seat vs activation vs person thing sorted out
    1 active seat one person
    Let me deactivate, reactivate, I cant use 2 mac's or 10 mac's at the same time
    1 active seat one person
    otherwise I cant recommend Parallels or continue to pay
    need freedom of movement and clean install!
    I Like Parallels!
    I don't want to switch to VMware
    Please Help
