    Hi ArielGe, we've made few changes in the key settings, please restart Parallels Desktop to reactivate the product with the same key. If the issue persists, please open Terminal end execute this command: prlsrvctl activate-license-online and let us know how it works. Thanks!
     
  5. Received your reply and glad to know that the issue has been successfully resolved.

    With all the problems doing this sort of move, Parallels NEEDS an uninstall method that really works. Every PD Knowledgebase uninstall instruction merely says to drag the application to the trash, delete and restart. However, this does not reset the Parallels database which will NOT accept a move to another computer until someone at Parallels Support does a reset. If there is anyone on the forum that has figured out the proper method that actually works, Please post for all to see.

    If you would like to use your Parallels Desktop for Mac license on a new Mac, you should sign out of the account the license is registered under on the Mac you don't need anymore. However, this articel applies to Parallels Desktop Pro edition and 11 and 12 standard edition, not for version 10. On Parallels Desktop 10, if the activation issue persists, please open Terminal end execute this command: prlsrvctl activate-license-online and let us know how it works. Thanks!

    Hi, I have the same problem with moving my Parallels Desktop 11 license to my new Mac - how do I deactivate the license on the old computer? I have signed out of the old computer and trashed the application as per KB and reinstalled on new computer but to no avail. Same 'maximum' message appears each time. Can you reset mine please? Thanks

    PS Should I just use the terminal command listed in an above message or wait for your action?

    I attempted to use the prlsrvctl activate-license-online command in Terminal and obtained the following message:-

    Last login: Wed Mar 8 23:43:36 on console

    Ivors-Super-Mac-Mini:~ NewIvor$ prlsrvctl activate-license-online

    Failed to activate the license: Unable to confirm the product license. Please activate the product first.

  17. Hi, we've reset your key, please try to activate it again and check the issue.

    Hi!

    Could you please reset my license? It won't deactivate on my old Mac and activate on my new one.
