    I just switched from Snow Leopard to El Capitan and in the process have lost my ability to open my copy of Parallels. I purchased the upgrade package to Parallels 11 but because the prior version of Parallels no longer registers on my computer and cannot be opened, I have no access to that key. What should I do?

  3. Hi, I have the same problem. I upgraded from Parallels 8 without knowing you can only upgrade from versions 9 & 10. My email address is [email protected]

    Hi Maria,
    Is there a way I can share my email address without posting it to this public forum?
    By the way, I don't think I ever registered my prior version because I didn't have Windows on this computer - it's part of the upgrades I'm making. Parallels came with my computer when I bought it. But I know the email address I had at the time that I purchased the computer.
