Hello Gallichet,
We have made changes to the activation key. Please follow the instructions below:

Hi RandyS2, we've made a few changes in the key settings. Please restart Parallels Desktop to reactivate with the same activation key and let us know how it works.

I was successful upon restart, thanks!
At this point I am still using Parallels by booting to the old SSD (external) and launching Parallels. If I decide to install Parallels on the internal SSD, might I run into this issue again? I noticed when I tried launching Parallels when booting from the internal SSD that Parallels was looking to re-install itself.

Same problem here "You have reached the maximum number of activations available for your activation key" for Parallels Desktop 10. I change computers/do fresh installs once or twice a year so I NEED to be able to move my license around. I don't recall having any issues with this the last two or so moves, what's different now?
Hello Martin, we have made few changes in your Parallels Desktop 10 license key. Please activate it once again and if you are still unable to activate Parallels Desktop 10, please follow the below troubleshooting steps:
1. Open Terminal (Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app)
2. Execute the command:
prlsrvctl activate-license-online
3. Now execute this command:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Preferences/Parallels/licenses.xml
4. Quit from Parallels Desktop.
5. Reboot your Mac.
6. Start Parallels Desktop and try to proceed with the activation once again. Keep us posted.
Thank you! It's working now. You guys should really try avoiding these kinds of situations, I spent hours googling in frustration, it would have been far easier to just pirate. I posted here as my last resort.
