    I am new to using a Mac and using Parallels. I installed Parallels 4.0 on a MacBook. I then installed Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade. The installation went fine until I got to the point where it asked me to put in the product code. It would not accept the code because I was using an upgrade version instead of a clean install. I did choose the custom option when I did the Windows installation. Since it would not accept the key, I left it blank and the installation completed. Now I am trying to activate the software, but it still will not accept the key. Any suggestions on how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    No network adaptor

    I followed the aforementioned instruction with no success. The message I receive is:
    The physical network adaptor connected to virtual network adaptor 1 does not exist. do youwant to save the virtual machine configuration anyway?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    For the network adapter problem, have you installed parallels tools? This usually clears up all network and audio problems.

    Do this

    1)Open regedit.exe with Start Menu Search and navigate to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/

    2)Change MediaBootInstall from "1" to "0". (Double-click it and then enter 0 in the dialog that appears.)

    3)Close RegEdit.

    Open the Start Menu again and type cmd in Start Menu search to display a shortcut to the Command Line utility. Right-click this shortcut and choose "Run as administrator." Handle the UAC prompt.

    In the command line window, type: slmgr /rearm

    Then tap ENTER and wait for the "Command completed successfully" dialog.

    RESTART AND THEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE YOUR KEY..
