As with others, this no longer seems to work. Anyone got a solution? I noticed that my build seems to be more recent than the one here, so I wonder if this trick may have been blocked in the newer build. Maybe I'll try reinstalling the older build.
Alright guys! I think I've found the solution to the "Activation has expired" error!
What you want to do is first delete the licences.xml file as before in Terminal:
sudo rm /Library/Preferences/Parallels/licences.xml
This clears the licence data from your computer.
Now the key is to also delete a hidden preference file that we normally don't have access to in Terminal:
sudo rm /private/var/root/library/preferences/com.parallels.desktop.plist
**********
I've taken a look in this file and there is a lot of indecipherable stuff in there, I believe four of those are some sort of hashes responsible for storing data to let the app know not to allow further trial activations or activation grace period.
I suspect that it includes starting dates for trials and activation grace periods, etc because when I checked the parallels.log file, it looked like some sort of background activation process was failing about 6 days my second "trial" period (the app let me get another trial key after my first one expired). The app just lets you run it anyway until that current trial expired before it actually tells you that activation failed.
That's my theory from what I can see, anyway.
**********
So once that's been deleted, those hashes would have to be generated from scratch again, allowing you to run the trial again.
After you've run those two commands to remove the files, open the app again and go through the process to obtain a new trial key. You will know if it worked if the app DOES NOT QUIT after you says the trial key was successfully activated.
If it only quits if the trial key activation didn't work, despite the message you get.

Oh, forgot to add:
Let me know if you try what I describe and whether it works for you.
If it doesn't, maybe there's a some extra steps involved, but I'm pretty certain there isn't.
Good luck!

WTF.
Look at the comment count at the top of the page. Now count the number of comments on the page.
I wrote a comment earlier, then added another comment with some things I forgot to mention and they both of them disappeared?
How does that happen?

LOL nevermind they showed up again. -_-"
i found a way to keep reusing it after every 14 days!
After you erase the license file, and you put a new email in, it'll accept it, once it accepts it, click file then new, then pick your OS! and install it. Then make sure you wait until it says will expire in 14 days, then your good! You can now use parallels!

It does work. Every 14 days you go to terminal and enter this (you can even copy and paste, it that makes you a little more comfortable):
sudo rm /private/var/root/library/preferences/com.parallels.desktop.plist
It's that easy.
-Peace and Love

Yes, not working anymore, i went to VMware http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7610288/VMware_Fusion_v5.0.1.825449_MAC_OSX-P2P_
Thanks hirokazi! As of 3/19/13 this still works! follow his instructions to the tee!
Also, for those w/ problems after the first 15 days, you might want to turn OFF your wifi or unplug the internet before running the two terminal commands that delete the license, or else you might get "offline mode no longer available" indefinitely, even after you create a new trial. Apparently something is sent to and back from their servers rendering the SW useless. Anyone else experience this?
