    Windows Activation on Parallels


    I've installed Parallels on my iMac and bought the Office 365 suite online through the Windows website in Australia. Windows wants me to active it with a product key.I didn't see or, can't remember seeing a product key when I installed Parallels. I assume Windows was installed and activated when I installed Parallels, but can't find a product key.Activation error is 0xC004F213.Please help me find my product key.

    :)

    activating windows 10 in parallels

    Hi, I'm Elise, an independent advisor and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    You will need to use the activation troubleshooter, as Windows has detected that you are now using the same license on different hardware (Parallels vs Bootcamp), please follow the steps in this article:

    Kind Regards,

    Unable to activate Windows 10 in parallels

    I transferred a valid and activated copy of windows 10 (free upgrade from Windows 7) to Parallels on my Mac. The copy in Parallels though says it is not activated. How do I activate this VM?

    The original windows computer is now switched off and not used, but is a windows 7 virtual machine in Parallels on this Mac.
