  • Works well
Platform: Mac Download Edition: Standard
Works well for running Windows programs on a Mac computer. Just not sure it’s worth a yearly subscription.

  • Installs windows but no valid product key
Platform: Mac Download Edition: Standard
It installed windows but nothing works properly because the product key isn’t valid for windows. Now windows is saying I have to buy it to use it!

  • Why is this a yearly subscription?
Platform: Mac Download Edition: Standard
I don’t understand why this is a yearly subscription. You should be able to buy it make one payment and use it for as long as you own your computer.

  • The parallels desktop standard version issue with my MacBook Pro M4
Platform: Mac Download Edition: Standard
I have tried this product on my MacBook Pro M4 chip, but it seems that I have made a mistake of buying the standard version because my apps are not working properly. I contacted Microsoft for the windows 11 activation but I was told to return this parallels desktop standard version and try the pro version then activate the windows 11. I have contacted parallels support team for the issue. Let’s wait and see. ... show more

  • Not good for running 32 bit apps!
Platform: Mac Download Edition: Standard
I purchased this to run 32 bit apps after Mojave. The VM was buggy and unstable. It could not open images in either iPhoto or Photos and could not open documents in Pages. The VM eventually crashed and would not restart after 2 weeks of use. I had to completely erase my IMac HD and restore from a Time Machine backup. If you want to keep your 32 bit apps running, don’t “upgrade” past Yosemite. ... show more

  • Cannot be installed inside a lab
Platform: Mac Download Edition: Standard
Previous perpetually-licensed copies of Parallels Desktop could be downloaded outside a lab and then installed inside a lab because installation/activation only required a valid Product Key. Verzion 18 _even perpetually-licensed copies_ now requires a live Internet connection so Parallels Desktop can no longer be installed inside a lab ... or even used on lab computers which are unable to be temporarily moved outside a lab. This is a significant reduction of features. ... show more
