"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...I am having the same issue. I have Parallels Desktop 11 on one of my MacBooks. My Parallels 10 key was used on a MacBook that I no longer own (system wiped and reimaged)...so i am unable to "log out" of that system from within Parallels now. How can I get the key freed up so I can use it on my second MacBook?
Thank you for your help

Tony
As we've checked your key has been reset. Do you still have an issue with activation?
 
Hi, I've checked your account and found only Parallels Desktop keys for version 6 and 7. Please provide us with the correct key (you can send it in private message). Then we will be able to reset it.
I have an active subscription until march of 2017. This is my correct email as well, so you should see that under my account. I would be happy to send you my key, but cannot figure out how to send you a private message.
