    Hi Pavel, I've reset the activation count for your key. Please note that you might need to re-activate Parallels Desktop too.

    Same problem here...I evidently did not properly deactivate toolbox on old Macs that I no longer have as I too am getting this message when I try to activate toolbox in Mac and Windows with my current annual license.

    I am having this issue as well after I got my Mac back from a repair. this is the fourth repair I have had but I have had the same computer the whole time. Parallels toolbox is telling me that it has exceeded the limit though.

    some months ago my hdd went dead, I had a backup and could restore most of my files and programs from it, but not Parallels Desktop, as I tried to use it, it ask me to active with my serial number, but as I write it refused to work due to the fact that Parallels thinks it is a different computer, which it is not, it just have a new SSD hard drive, so maybe you could guide me to reset the user count, as I need to use it on the same Mac, thanks in advance for your kindly attention.

    Hello @FidelV ,
    We have made changes to the activation key . Please quit Parallels Desktop. Then, open Terminal (Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal.app). Inside the Terminal window, enter the command 'prlsrvctl activate-license-online' (without the quotes) and hit 'Return'. Wait till the operation completes. Then, close Terminal and re-attempt the activation.
    Thanks

    Same kind of issue, but for Parallels Desktop 8, where I am being told it has been activated too many times. Same computer running Snow Leopard in a stable (unchangeable environment), but the damn Radeon video chips keep dying, so I'm on my 5th motherboard. Can't continue my research without this setup. How can I get the activations reset?

    Thanks Arun. My Desktop 8 is now working again. Sorry for posting in the wrong forum, I thought I had clicked on the Desktop forum button, but happy with the outcome anyway.

    New Mac and got this.:
    The license has been used to activate Parallels Toolbox on 3 different Macs. To activate Parallels Toolbox on this Mac, you must purchase an additional license.

    I don't use the old one anymore and need to move the license to the new one. Parallels are working fine with the license key.
