Hi, after seeing all of the posts about the end of life for the old activation server and the issues with legacy version activations (at least up to V11) I am asking one of the parallels support people who might be here to answer a 2-1/2 part question (preferably before the Black friday Sales finish!)
(1) Version 12 full licence (for older mac and OS). If I install this, will it activate properly online?
(2) Version 12 Upgrade licence - (not yet used) - Upgrades normally require you to enter the licence code from a previous version (I have licences going wayyyy back V10/v9/v8/v7/v6/v5 etc they were all upgrades & perpetual licences)... Very important! If the activation system based on your login/ account membership does work, as per the previous question, how does it work when the older versions used the older licensing system - I still have ALL of the licence keys and they are registered in my account so the support people can check. I know the old activatepd licensing system will not work as the server has been switched off.
(2 -1/2) I notice someone else asked about purchasing an upgrade directly to V19 (would be V17 for me) from an older V9 version - would my full V12 licence code or upgrade v12 licence code work with an upgrade purchase - the answer to a previous poster in September seemed to imply that this would be OK? This may be a simpler solution than trying to install V12 first and then seeing if the upgrades would work.
many thanks if someone from parallels can answer this for me

PS. I would have emailed "sales" for an answer but email contact is very tightly controlled so ti wasn't available to a mere mortal
