    Hi there, I have been purchasing "Parallels Desktop for Mac Subscription" for a few years already. Here is my previous subscription:

    ```
    Status Expired
    Activation Date 06/07/2022
    Next Billing Date 08/07/2025
    Renewal Price NZD 248.57
    ```

    Of course, it's already expired (as I switched to a Linux/BSD laptop for a while). But I need to use MacOS again for my new job, and I do want to continue using Linux/BSD inside Parallels Desktop, so here is my question:

    My original subscription price is too high. I saw the email you guys sent to me, then I saw this after clicking the link from the email:

    ```
    Parallels Desktop
    Pro Edition
    For: Developers, creators, and power users
    Save 35%
    $77.99/year$119.99 (around NZD 133)
    Subscription
    ```

    That's for the `New` tab. If I click `Upgrade`, then I see this:

    ```
    For all one-time purchases and customers with a previous version of Parallels Desktop,
    upgrade to the latest version at a discounted rate.

    Parallels Desktop
    Pro Edition Upgrade
    Free upgrades to newer versions.

    Save 62%
    $45.49/year$119.99 (around NZD 77)
    Subscription
    ```

    Could I go through the `Upgrade` option? If yes, what extra steps do I need to take to apply the upgrade purchase to my account? (e.g. Do I need to delete the old subscription and add the new one?)

    Thanks for the help:)
