Anyone know if I can sell my copy of Parallels 8? I bought it and installed it but don't think I'm going to need it like I thought I would. I already registered it, so I am not sure if I can just simply sell it on eBay. Would the new owner be able to install and activate it in their name? Or is it a complicated process like Adobe?

I suggest you read the EULA for Parallels. It should say in there what you can do with the license.
