Received this email from Parallels:

Based on this info, I installed version 6 over my recent install of version 5. I put in the activation code in the email and received a message that "Your trial activation key will expire in 5 days".
If it's going to take 6-8 weeks to get the permanent activation key as mentioned on their web site as part of the Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac Tech Guarantee, what is going to happen after the 5 days is up?
Will I have to uninstall 6 and reinstall 5 to continue to use Parallels?
