    Hello.
    Last month I purchased Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition Upgrade.....I've been purchasing upgrades to Parallels desktop since version 3. This year I decided to buy the pro subscription. It was my understanding from the marketing for the Pro edition, that you could install it on multiple (up to 5?) computers. I have 3 Macs, but it won't let me activate more than one. I get the "your product activation key has reached its activation limit".....am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work?

    Hey there, I also wanted to move my licence from my old MacBook to my new iMac (deactivate on MacBook, activate on iMac). No chance, there´s no license file or anything else to deactivate on the old device. Is the license really linked to a unique hardware?

    Hi, yes, you're right, the license is linked with Mac Hardware. We deactivate your license, check the issue and move license to your iMac.
    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Hey there, I have activated my Parallels 11 update licence on the wrong computer... It need to be on my Macbook not on my Mac mini. Is it possible to deactivate my actual licence, to make me possible reactivate it on my laptop? How is it possible to do that?
    Thanks,
    Simon

    Hi, please try logging into Parallels account, click here to login. Go to Parallels Desktop Licenses >> Add the activation key for Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac. Then launch Parallels Desktop application and sign in to your account from the Parallels wizard, it will ask you to enter the Parallels Desktop 11 activation key again, please enter and activate. Hope this process works.

    This doesn't work - the message is, "License Key is already registered to your account"

    The question is very simply for me, I was able to use Parallels 10 on my two work machines, and it appears that 11 Pro I have been blocked from doing this. Are we able to use the subscription based account on two computers like Parallels 10?

    Thanks

    Dhruba,

    Did the above - still same issue.

    I logged into my account and it's showing that I can only install on 1 host, is that the problem? Your compare page says unlimited hosts for the new Pro version.

    I am currently using the Trial version to get some work done - but I need this resolved.
