I'm having the same issue . I uninstalled it and reinstalled it to my new MacBook 2016 and it says the
You have reached the maximum number of activations available.
Please advice

Hi,
I've uninstall my parallels Desktop 10 for install on an other mac, and i have the message: Failed to activate the license: Unable to confirm the product license. You have reached the maximum number of activations available for your activation key (http://www.parallels.com/eula). Please purchase a new product license.

I have try on terminal this command: prlsrvctl activate-license-online.
But i have the same message

I need help please

 

Hello Gallichet,
We have made changes to the activation key. Please follow the instructions below:
1. Quit Parallels Desktop, then try to activate after launching it again.
2. If you are still unable to activate, Open Terminal on the Mac and execute this command: prlsrvctl activate-license-online

 

My old Mac died completely (water intrusion) but I was able to save the SSD.

When I boot from the old SSD (via a UBS-SATA cable), I can start Parallels and it functions, which is great.

However, I get the same error message as others here when I enter my key. Help!

Thanks!

 

@RandyS2 you can also use this KB for moving your Parallels Desktop license.

 

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.

 

Hello everyone. I have the same problem. Parallels would not let me activate and I can not deactivate the license on my old Mac as it got stolen.
I also tried the Terminal command - nothing.
Can please someone reset my Key ? I will work with the trial version now.
Thanks

 

Hello, we have reset your Parallels Desktop 11 license key. Please activate it once again and let us know how it goes.

 

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.
