"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,

I am having the same issue. My Hard Drive died and I couldn't uninstall my activation, and I'm reinstalling everything back on a restored hard drive, now it tells me I have too many registered, which is totally untrue since it's the same computer. I have the activation key, can you reset it so it's like new? I can't for the life of me find a phone number for you guys to reach you, so if you could help me out, that'd be great.
 
I do have a current subscription for Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition, but do not see that option when adding my key. I simply get the activation limit has been reached. I can't follow all of the steps listed in the article because I no longer have the old Mac.
I've replied you in private message. Please check and let us know the results.

Same issue here

I had to use my hard disc in an external case on another MacBook Pro (during repair of the 2011 MacBook Pro graphic issue) and can't get this laptop again to deactivate this activation. Now my Parallels 11 Key doesn't work anymore at my MacBook Pro as it did before with no changes (except the replacement of the broken mainboard)

Can you please help me and reset my activation.
Thanks
