Hello I am currently using a free trial for Parallels 8 for the Mac which I downloaded directly from the Parallels website. I found out that Amazon sells the box version (DVD). I would like to buy this version on Amazon. My question is this, does the DVD box version come with an activation code that I can use to activate the downloaded free trial that is currently running on my Mac? My fear is that if I have to reinstall Parallels and then reinstall windows XP, I will have problems re-activating XP if Microsoft thinks I am trying to reuse their activation key. Thanks in Advance. Joe
Sure - there would be an activation key. But note - even if in any case you will have to reinstall Parallels Desktop App - your WIndows virtual machine would stay the same without any changes and you won't have to reinstall it again
