"Your Product Activation Key Reached Its Activation Limit..."

Hello,

I am facing an issue activating Parallels 9 on a newly purchased Macbook Air. I'm a software engineer, and I change computers every few months depending on the job at task. I've never been able to "deactivate" my parallels activation on any of these previous computers since there is no option to do so; however, I re-format these computers before selling them (if they're mine), or the company to which the laptop belongs does so (note: I uninstall my programs on these computers before handing them back). This way, my software licenses are used only by me.

Long story short: I switch computers a lot because my job requires it, and now Parallels is yelling at me because I activated my license too many times. I have yet another new computer for work, and I cannot activate Parallels on this machine.

I've been using Parallels for a number of years, and buying another license is not an option. I will undoubtedly continue to have to switch computers at least once a year. If that means contacting customer support once a year, I'm fine with that. However, I can't find a phone number or email address to contact, so any help from a representative would be much appreciated...

I cannot request a trial license either, since it keeps showing an exclamation mark next to my email address. I'm effectively unable to use the software I paid for.

Thanks,

Hello Paralells. Yes, i am posting here because i have the same problem with the activation. please sent me this Private message where i guess there is the solution for this. May i take notion that this thread has been open for a year, and that you at parallels are not willing or unable to add the deactivation key to my account like you have on the business accounts. it would save you guys tons of complains. but he! why listen to the customer! I have been unable to work for two days now because of your crappy administration. Where can i sent the bill?;). please resolve this for me, and for future reference add the deactivation button like you have in the business accounts.
 
So.. Another day into being confronted with this problem, received an email from support that that are going to reset my activation key. The only problem is that they do not say When. So three days into this problem, still no solution. :mad: If i left users unsupported for three days in my office, i will fire myself.. just saying..
 
Hello,

I purchased the software and did an uninstallation on my home computer. I've got a new macbook pro and tried to install the software... the license is already in use... limit reached.... please can you disable my previous installation so I can enable it on the new computer?

Will I need to contact you each time I move from one computer to another? I tried to use your sh script... system is "pristine"... but not license removed on my old computer.

Please, can you fix that?

Best regards,


Juanjo
