  • Windows 7 not recognized as true after reinstalling on one machine virtual Parallels Desktop

    Hi all -

    I'm a Mac user running Windows 7 on my virtual machine (Parallels Desktop).  I did for years, even the upgrade to Windows 7 after using XP for a long time.
    Recently, I had a problem with the upgrade of Parallels Desktop, which could only be repaired by removing and then reinstalling the Virtual Machine Parallels.  This, of course, obliged me to reinstall all programs (including Windows 7).  Since I bought my Windows 7 and Office 2010 at Staples (Yes... not online or eBay copy here), I know that my copies are authentic and I used Winows 7 for the years leading up to this relocation.  I still have the original case, the disks and the sticker with the product key.  I used this key when I did the re-install and everything worked perfectly... until today when I turned on the virtual machine and he asked for me to enter the product key, say something (I'm sorry I didn't write that down) on the exhale.  I got my key, Windows 7 came out, but it is said that "this copy of Windows is not genuine" I get message "you can be a victim of software counterfeiting".  Once again... I bought full fare at Staples, so I do not know is not the case.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    If it is only the data (not apps) I use Dropbox. It turned out to be the best way to move things between the side Mac and the bootcamped Windows of my iMac side. I don't see why it would not work to move data from a virtual machine installation of Win to a BootCamp installation.

  • Investigating Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac

    Hi all

    I need to install Windows to run ArcGIS software in my Macbook Air. I had bought 11 of Parallels Desktop for Mac and tried to install it. During the installation process a pop-out displays asking for activation key for Microsoft, which I'm not have.

    It seems without the activation key from Microsoft, I can't complete installation Windows.

    Any idea?

    CT

    Get an activation key. You can buy Windows to get an activation key and legally use it on any computer.

  • How can I open a windows app use parallels desktop 11 as before?

    Hello.

    I used to use Parallels desktop when it's version was 4... I use it for a long time until today, I had to update it and install it again for a windows application...

    Previously, parallels has given you a choice, allowing you to choose whether you want windows applications open as they are native applications mac, or if you want any operating system windows on your mac as having the bar of windows taskbar and other things...

    but now that I installed it I can't get windows apps to run as they are applications native mac and run only and only this app, not all windows OS as a window...

    What should I do?

    Parallels Desktop 11

    PS: I know it's a bit out of place here, but don't know where otherwise the question and it's urgent

    When you have used Parallels desktop version 4, remember inside Windows installation until you can run Windows programs? You did, and except if you have saved the Machines virtual Parallels created, you have to start over. However, viewing this document Parallels that explains where Parallels VMS files (Note: by default, all virtual machines are stored in /Documents/Parallels or in /Users/Shared/Parallels files). See if you still have on your machine and, if so, try opening and updating the virtual machine file to work with Version 11.

  • CS6 Dreamweaver crashes when you use Parallels Desktop

    Hello. When I use Dreamweaver CS6 on Mac OS 10.11.6, it crashes a lot. Sometimes, it will be immediately. Sometimes I can use it for a few hours. Do not know what triggers really crash if it saves files, undoing things. It's really random. I have Parallels Desktop 11.2.1 also installed so that I can run Windows on my iMac. I used to run Windows 8.1 and never had any problems with Dreamweaver crashing. When I installed 10 Windows, which seems to be when I started having problems. Not sure if this can even be linked or not. Is there a memory problem Windows 10 is requiring more virtual memory which is causing problems? Or maybe that Dreamweaver has been corrupted somehow?

    How can I contact Support Adobe by phone? He directed me to this forum. I still have the serial for Design & Web Premium key. Can I just download Dreamweaver and then use this key set of the to save so I can uninstall the Dreamweaver I and install again? Which will work? You do not know if this will fix the problem or not, but I thought it would be worth it. Can someone help me? Thank you.

    Andy

    As John said, CS6 is old software.  But don't give up hope quite yet.

    The first thing to try is to delete the Cache of corrupt in DW.  Make sure that hidden files & folders are in your Mac Finder or Windows Explorer
