"Your Product Activation Key Reached Its Activation Limit..."

Hello,

I am facing an issue activating Parallels 9 on a newly purchased Macbook Air. I'm a software engineer, and I change computers every few months depending on the job at task. I've never been able to "deactivate" my parallels activation on any of these previous computers since there is no option to do so; however, I re-format these computers before selling them (if they're mine), or the company to which the laptop belongs does so (note: I uninstall my programs on these computers before handing them back). This way, my software licenses are used only by me.

Long story short: I switch computers a lot because my job requires it, and now Parallels is yelling at me because I activated my license too many times. I have yet another new computer for work, and I cannot activate Parallels on this machine.

I've been using Parallels for a number of years, and buying another license is not an option. I will undoubtedly continue to have to switch computers at least once a year. If that means contacting customer support once a year, I'm fine with that. However, I can't find a phone number or email address to contact, so any help from a representative would be much appreciated...

I cannot request a trial license either, since it keeps showing an exclamation mark next to my email address. I'm effectively unable to use the software I paid for.

Thanks,

Hi.

I recently bought a used MacBook, and succesfully instaled my copy of Paralles 9. Unfortunatelly, a few days later this laptop broke with no repair options, so I bought another one. By attempt to install Parallels 9 on new machine, I got this message "reached its activtion limits".

We have 4 Parallels Desktop 9 Keys and have deinstalled it from one machine. The remaining Workstation were switched fom a 6-Core to a 12-Core CPU. Like many others, i'm receiving on this machine now the "reached its activation limits" error message. Could you contact me how we can reactivate this machine. Thanks
 
I have a new faster iMac that I want to move my parallels 10 into, but i get the above error message. How do I deactivate other machines so I can activate the new iMac?
Thx,

Please provide us with the license key which you would like to reactivate.
Also you can use this KB in order to reactivate key from 1 Mac to another.
 
Hi Parallels Support,
I meet the same activation key issue when I start using my new Macbook. The old IMac already uninstall follow the guidance from KB. Could you help to release the license on my old computer? Thanks.
