Parallels Support team, after you convert your Boot Camp to a Parallels VM, wait up to 1 week and the activation issue will fix itself. I have not personally tried this yet, so I cannot promise truth behind this, plan to try at a later date. *Original Story* Before I start, let clarify that I am already in touch with Parallels support on Twitter and they are reviewing the case (thanks Parallels Support team!). In the meantime, I wanted to share my experience so others can use caution if they are in same boat as me. Problem Statement Deploying Parallels Desktop v11 in conjunction with existing Windows 10 (Pro in this case) that was free upgrade from Microsoft results in deactivation of Windows with no option to reactivate (dead license key). Environment Machine: MacBook Air, late 2013 model, with all bells and whistles (i7, 8gb ram, 13″ screen) Mac OS: Current RELEASED version (not Public Beta), sorry, don't know exact version, to be honest I am a Windows user. Windows OS: Windows 10 Pro (latest RELEASED updates, no beta builds) Licensing: Free Upgrade from MS from Windows 8.1 Installation: CLEAN install after activation of Windows 10 associated to my MS account Windows 10 Upgrade Details If you are not familiar (or have been living under a rock for past month), MS released Windows 10 with a bonus offer of anyone with a valid (maybe pirated but that has been going back and forth for sometime) Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 license gets a free upgrade to equal version of Windows 10. When you receive this upgrade, you do not receive a license key per se, instead, they log your machine details into your associated MS account. This means anytime you rebuild your machine, you no longer need to track down your license key because as long as you have an internet connection, you will automatically be activated. Reproduction steps Install Parallels Desktop 11 on Mac OS X (current release version). After successful install, you create a new Virtual Machine. We are then presented with the next dialog - Since I want to continue to have an option to use Windows in Boot Camp only for improved performance when needed, I selected the option Use Windows from Boot Camp. I am then presented with this dialog - This dialog is VERY important, I cannot stress enough. I read it, but did not think that Windows license would break though… so I blindly selected I want to continue and click continue. I then finished creating my VM instance and my Boot Camp then launched in Mac OS, woohoo! I then entered my password in Windows. Once logged in, Parallels immediately took over and hid the boot camp instance and began to in
