    I've been thinking of using Parallels so that I can run my IRC client of choice (mIRC) and still use my old bot I had on my PC. However, I wanted to make sure everything would work smoothly before going out and spending the money to get the program. (Script editor works, scripts work, client can use $read(file.txt) and /write file.txt correctly, Logging works, ect.)

    After downloading the program and asking for the trial key, I promptly entered it in the field that requested it.

    I got this error message.

    Great, the trial key doesn't work. Where can I get a trial key that will work? Or, if necessary, where can I get a version that will work on my trial key?

    Did you get trial key per e-mail from parallels?

    Yes, I did. The key in that e-mail spits out that error.

    You can try downloading parallels again. They will send you a new key.

    No, they just give me the exact same key. It will tell you the key here as you download it (Warning, that page will start a download), and, thats the same trial key they send you in the mail.

    If I was to take a guess, I'd say that the key 8XUNI-MSUPT-YMVW1-ZIMTO-5N9YP, is something permanent as the "This will always give you the free 15 day trial" key. And, going from the fact that it gives an error message that doesn't match the "Invalid Key" error, I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that the trial key is out-dated and worked in some older version, but, there is suppose to be a trial key for this version that I can't find.

    Have you tried switching the o for a 0 (number) or vica versa ?

    Its a copy/pase from the website, and, no, changing the key doesn't help.
