I just bought Parallels and registered my email with a new strong password. The mail and password seem to be valid. I tried logging in from the app. First issue. Login fails, with a very generic "Network error" messsage" (not useful). As instructed, I try the link provided. Pass the first login. Then, issues arise again. Next step : browser confirmation. Get the confirmation email alright, and confirm by clicking the link provided in the mail. This leads to a page saying that my browser is validated from now and showing a "continue" button. At this step, though, the process fails. I click the confirmation button, but the page hangs and I'm stuck. I've tried the KB pages about /etc/hosts and the one about the Disk Utility fix, without success. I'm quite annoyed and feels like I wasted my hard-earned money. I'm going to ask for a refund real quick if the support doesn't fix this. One more very annoying issue : I despise being forced to use FB or Twitter. Why not provide a standard support email ? This is hostile behavior. I'm not the only one having to complain on the forums about this, as I can see, unfortunately. Let's pray you won't shutdown this place to users like me having issues. I certainly won't recommend Parallels because, as said by other users, the activation process is hell. Let's hope that the support will pick this up and fix this - I worked in IT supports and it's a tough job. Looking forward to have a reply from you guys. Thanks for your help.
