    I'm having the same issue with my parallels 11 license. I recently migrated to a new mac, but I made sure to sign out on my old computer. When I attempt to activate the license I get the "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 (http://www.parallels.com/eula)). Please purchase a new product license." error. I know I'm not signed in on any other machines. This happens both in the app and from the terminal with prlsrvctl activate-license-online.

    Hi @LeungW, we have made few changes in the key settings. Please restart Parallels Desktop to reactivate with the same key. Thanks!

    Can it really be true that I am forced to buy a new license because I switched to a new mac? - I signed out of parallels on the old mac, but no luck.

    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 upgraded to every version since version 2 and this is the thank you for being a loyal customer???

    Hello,

    Same issue here. I just purchased a new MacBook, signed out on the old one, but it says I have reached the maximum number of activations. Could you please help me out?

    Thanks,
    Mario.

    Hello Parallels Tech Support: I am having this exact same issue with Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac. I have signed out of the Parallels Account on my old computer but still getting the Maximum Activations error on my new computer. Please let me know how to resolve.

    Hello, I just purchased a new MacBook and I uninstalled parallels on my old computer. It won't let me activate on my new computer currently as well.
