"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,

Sorry, but my license M277TX-6M... still does not work.
We have reset 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

Note: Parallels Desktop 10 is not compatible with Sierra or newer macOS X versions.
 
Hello, I have the same issue: changing to new macbook and parallels desktop 11 says activation limit reached. My Key: KJH1QV-0DPD7T-......
Please could you help me? Thank you very much!!!
 
I am facing the same issues (Esta licença atingiu seu limite de ativação e não pode mais ser usada para ativar novas cópias de produtos.)
. I have purchased a new MBP 14 and am unable to activate my parallels 17 on it. Please need help.
 
i looked around in this huge thread for a bit, got here by searching and couldn't find what I needed so I'll post it here:

In my account it shows two machines registered with ||s v10.x on them. But it's not actually a "Them" as in two machines. It's one machine with 4 internal HHDs and two SSDs, many Partitions and every macOS there is. I do Beta testing and have to change things up a lot or use a partition of one OS to migrate to another where a copy of ||s might end up, most unknowingly.

I now have a new client and am the Mac Resource for the project I started with them. Part of that is to run our scripts for Tech Support under every possible scenario, including on VMs, and the most likely for the Macintosh platform is ||s. I tried to install it on my laptop which in all reality would be my second or as of the moment only machine I am needing it on and got the "over install quota". So what is the easiest way to rectify this so I can install on my Laptop? I need to stay in v10.x, then will upgrade later. I have to consider everything.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated . . .
