Windows 11 (w/Parallels Desktop - 18.3.2) can not find Activation Key

Windows 11 installs OK, but I get this when trying to Activate Windows 11 PRO

And I have reviewed your articles on how to Activate Windows 11 - they do not help - I have really tried!

The common denominator is that the problem surfaced when I upgraded from Mac Ventura to Mac Sonoma ... which as you know Windows considers a NEW computer ... same iMac hardware, but a totally new OS.

I don't have any inclination to re-buy Windows 11 PRO just to get a new Activation Key.

And hopefully you agree with me ..

SO, can you please provide me a new Activation Key for free .. again, I have Windows 11 Pro and it works .. but, not Activated.
 
More info:

When I clicked Troubleshoot and then clicked "Changed Devices" (= new OS), the only Device previously registered was Windows 10 Home.

PLEASE NOTE that when I initially installed Windows 11, it installed Windows 11 PRO. I did not select PRO, honest!

SO, that's the problem. Your Activation software says I previously installed Home, whereas your Installation software installed PRO.

So, please provide me a new Activation Key for free - for Windows 11 PRO since that is what your installation software installed.

With respect, I do not see how I am responsible for the fact that Windows 11 only installs PRO and not HOME.
