I purchased a download version of Windows 7 to install in Parallels, which, after some forum research worked out ok. I did not have a previous version of Windows 7 and the download was for a clean installation. But now, it says I have to activate the Windows 7, however, when I use the product key provided from my download version, Windows says "The following failure occurred while trying to use the product key: Code 0xC004F061 Description: The Software Licensing Service determined that this specified product key can only be used for upgrading, not for clean installations." Does anyone know how to fix this?
