If you already use Parallels Desktop, you may find your key registered in your Parallels account.

Alone among my migrated applications, yours is a nightmare - great software which has worked fine for years, now utterly ruined by your Kafka-esque and quite unnecessary rigmarole in getting the existing software - WHICH I'VE PAID FOR - running in the new system which is simply a slimmed down version of my current system, not an upgrade, nor intended to run on a new device. A product activation key is comprised of 30 alpha numeric digits (letters and numbers) divided into five blocks of six characters: XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX. Without my VMs I cannot migrate the new system over the current one and all the effort has been wasted. I'm disabled and have spent hours setting up a new version of my system. The next thing was a window containing MY OLD ORIGINAL EMAIL ADDRESS WHICH DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE (why have you ignored all my attempts to get the email address changed, Parallels?), and asking for a password (WHAT?) so I could start up the "new" version. More in hope than expectation, I launched the application - it immediately gave me a "Checking for." dialogue, then told me it was removing the old version and replacing it. I copied across as much as I could see from the current Mac to the external system - the app, and all the preference folders and files at root and user level, even a folder in the root Library just called Parallels. Why do Parallels make activation so difficult?).

I'm prepared to buy a newer version of Parallels but apparently in order to activate your existing VMs you have to provide your old activation key, so the whole thing is a nightmarish Catch-22 situation. (No, I've no intention of upgrading from Mavericks. Parallels Desktop allows you to have your Windows activation key entered at the moment of the virtual machines creation. Windows virtual machine has not been activated yet. I need to find out what my activation key is. I have just installed Windows virtual machine, but it prompts for the activation key every time it starts.

I've told Parallels about this several times but though this account here is with my new email, as far as my app is concerned Parallels have ignored all attempts to change my registration details with them.

When I originally activated and registered my copy, I had an email address which has since been discontinued as that ISP doesn't do emails anymore. The new system will require me to reactivate Parallels. I've tried to find the activation key for it but it is nowhere to be found, nor is it displayed in 'About Parallels' window. The problem is with my old version of Parallels (10) whose VMs currently run fine on the Mac. Some applications launch straight off but some require the licence key again. The time is taken up by copying across all my applications (I have many) with their support folders and preferences. I've spent days installing my old MacOS (Mavericks) on an external SSD prior to cloning back to my Mac as a leaner meaner quicker system.
