    I reinstalled the OS on my Mac Air (M2) and I'm trying to reinstall my Parallels subscription on it but it keeps telling me : This license key is already registered in a different account.

    Why is it SO difficult to actually SPEAK to a human here? We had a staff member retire and need to upgrade a license. How do I transfer that license to me?
    Frustrated since I've opened tickets with Parallels AND Cleverbridge.
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Good day.

    I have a similar problem, but I want to free some licenses, not all of them, as in the invoice, I bought 5 licenses per invoice. Is this possible?

    Hello,
    I purchased a permanent license for Parallels Desktop and only have one license key.
    When I try to activate it on my new Mac, I receive this message:
    "This is an upgrade key. Please confirm it with a key from a previous version."
    However, I have never owned a previous version of Parallels. This is the only key I have ever purchased.
    Previously, I used Parallels on a Mac with an M1 chip. I recently sold that computer and purchased a new Mac with an M4 chip. Now I want to install and activate Parallels Desktop on this new device.
    Please help me resolve this issue and activate my permanent license on the new Mac.
    Thank you in advance for your support.
    Best regards,

    Roman
