NOTE: The activation key is stored in the file without dividing dashes! If you need to register the key in your account on www.parallels.com site or re-activate your Parallels Desktop copy anew, please use dashes to divide key onto 5-character blocks:

XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

NOTE: The license files are hidden files that are not visible in Finder.
