parallel desktop 16 activation key for mac

Airplane mode was grayed out so I just unplugged ethernet, wifi, and bluetooth. I started with a clean install (disk encryption off) Monterey 12.5, Macbook M1MAX, Parallels 17.1, unactivated Windows 11 Home from the Parallels link. I confirm that DaveSpacy's advice (five posts above, DaveSpacey, in forum: Parallels Desktop for Apple Silicon (M1) Mac) worked for me last week, August 1. Perhaps that's because this is an Arm Insider version?

I will note that I still see the text 'Evaluation copy' at the bottom right. So far, steps seem to have worked for me as my VM now states it is 'Activated', and I'm able to do things like change my wallpaper, use a USB headset, both of which I wasn't able to prior. * Enter in the Pro key you actually want to use and wait in suspense for what seems like an eternity.īe sure to put the device in airplane mode otherwise it will fail right after mentioning it is going to upgrade your version. * Go back to the Activation page and select 'Change product key' * After Windows has rebooted, disable airplane mode or 'reconnect' its internet This will trigger Windows to upgrade your edition to Pro and will reboot. * Enter in the Generic Pro Key listed in the thread. * Go to the Activation page and select 'Change product key' * Put VM in airplane mode or 'disconnect' its internet

I remembered that I encountered a similar issue when trying to upgrade my own personal laptop from Windows 10 Home -> Pro, so I thought I'd try the above tip. The default Windows 11 that was installed for my VM was Windows 11 Home, but I had a Pro key that refused to upgrade/activate while giving me the infamous 0xC004F050 error. For those of you still having trouble with this, you might want to try the advice from this thread (from Microsoft's site):
