Parallels 12 For Mac Download
Hi I used parallels desktop for M1 Mac beta tested technical preview, after 14 April my activated key is not working. I bought activation key before but when I try to activate parallels desktop 16, system ask me previous version activation key but I cannot find previous activation key please help me.
Well the good news is that Parallels Desktop 18 has solved these problems that made running the ARM version of Windows so challenging due to it not normally being licensed to individual users. Parallels now includes the ability to download and buy the ARM version of Windows 11 directly within Parallels itself.
Parallels licenses are activated by signing into a user account with an internet connection. Prior to downloading and installing the software, you must complete the WebStore registration form to register your University ID. Please review your order and installation instructions for more details.
Nice. To run Windows 11, it does provide the expected virtual TPM 2.0 support, UEFI, Secure Boot, etc. to meet the Windows hardware requirements. And of course it can download and install various flavors of Linux as well.
Besides the annual speed improvements for tasks like creating snapshots and suspending virtual machines, the first features mentioned in Parallels' announcement today won't make your virtual machines run any better. The press release and presentation for reporters gave top billing to a new "Parallels Toolbox for Mac" application that makes it easier to perform some basic tasks that aren't related to virtualization. The toolbox provides a drop-down menu from the Mac's menu bar that lets you take screenshots, record audio, download videos from YouTube and Facebook, and prevent your Mac from sleeping, among other things.
The real jewel here comes in the form of near-epic flexibility. Pre-configured virtual machines can be instantly downloaded. These include Chromium OS, Ubuntu, Fedora Linux, CentOS Linux, Debian GNU/Linux and a macOS VM using the recovery partition.
Pricing varies from a one-time fee of $79.99 for Parallels Desktop 12 download and perpetual use license for that version, or a $79 subscription that must be renewed annually. Subscriptions include the remote access component. $99.99 a year subscriptions are available for Pro and Business Editions. Volume licenses, as well as student editions are also available.
The initial virtualization prospects on the M1 machines looked daunting .. you need an ARM64 version of Windows and links to official Microsoft downloads that were being linked to by Parallels were not working. Uh oh. Maybe not the best road to go down if you rely on virtualization as a production setup.
Before taking the official route outlined above, I tried some of the other methods (for example UUP Dump) where you download a package with shell scripts that go out and download all of the necessary installation files and packages them up into an ISO image. Despite successfully downloading and building the ISO images, the installations crapped out almost immediately.
These tools offer one-click simplicity for downloading or converting video, recording audio, muting the microphone, or performing system tasks such as locking the screen, hiding the desktop, preventing your Mac from going to sleep, and Do Not Disturb, which temporarily pauses notifications and Dock activity. Convenient? Yes, but none of the utilities are particularly special or unique, and power users are likely to have their own alternatives already installed.
After installing Parallels Desktop, it then proceeds to set up a virtual machine for Windows 11, downloads Windows, installs it, and gets you up and running in a very short space of time. With a sufficient Internet connection, you could be using Windows within macOS in less than an hour.
For $149.99 per year, Business Edition includes the Pro Edition's features, allowing employees to download preconfigured versions of Windows to their Mac, per-user licensing, a centralized administration and management tool, and unified volume license keys for mass deployment.
For a start, it works on the basis that you're going to provide the operating system to install, be it a Linux distribution or Windows. So you're going to have to download that from Microsoft via its Windows Insider program.
In short, it explains to download the Windows 11 ARM64 Insider Preview, how to install Homebrew on your Mac to install QEMU, and using QEMU to convert the Windows VHDX file to a VMDK instead. Then you have to install Windows to VMWare Fusion, taking care to disable Internet access otherwise it won't work, and then follow other procedures to install VMWare's tools to get the final bits set up.
This downloads a disk image file named macOSDeveloperBetaAccessUtility.dmg. Double-click that file and follow the instructions, which then opens System Preferences > Software Update and asks if you wish to download the current macOS Monterey beta installer.
Apple authorized reseller B&H Photo Video has started its annual holiday sale with a number of discounts on Apple products, ranging from the new MacBook Pro to iPad. Some of the deals include a free download of Parallels 12 for Mac. B&H does not charge sales tax on online orders in all states except New York.
The first step to getting Oracle on your Mac is to download a program called VirtualBox. This program allows you to run virtual machines, which are self-contained operating systems. It will let you run a Windows or Linux operating system inside your Mac.

It includes tools and utilities that make ordinary chores easier. With a single click, you may take a snapshot, password-protect confidential files, download a favorite video from YouTube or Facebook, easily record a screencast, or prevent your Mac from napping.
So I need to download an ISO or VHDX file of Windows 10 Pro for ARM architecture for college. I use a mac with the M1 processor but the download pages for Microsoft windows only offer windows 11 arm and not windows 10 arm. I previously used Windows 10 Pro and have a digital license, but need the edition for arm architecture to run in my virtual machine software.
I feel you or severely over complicating this. I simply downloaded the Windows10_InsiderPreview_Client_ARM64_en-us_21354.vhdx then installed Parallels for M1. Ran Parallels and pointed it to the .vhdx file.
Can you provide me the that win 10 arm.vhdx file in Google drive link !! I need it urgently for my school project and currently in the website I have to be member of the windows insider program to download that file.
Thanks! I've already reached it. I used this site to download the windows 10 ARM version, I had tryed some versions and the 21390 worked for me. I also choose the option to download the iso in one click, so I didn't have to convert any type of file.
Sorry, I forgot to say one thing. I did the download into another PC in a windows 10 x64. On mac, using the site that I`ve sent and another sites, it always broken up. Try to download like this image bellow, this works to me:
The problem that I have is, I downloaded Win 10 Insider preview 10.0.21382.1000 (co_release) [arm64]. I could installed in my macbook pro M1 using parallels, but it said that the build is expired. Install a new build of windows now. The 21390 build is hasn't Internet Explorer 11 (was removed). I need it to run a banking site. I dont know what to do.
I had the same problem. I arrived in the step 6 and I don't know what I can do after that. Now I'm trying to download another version of the iso to see if the problem was specific with the one that I've downloaded.
edit : additional problems that I ran into, You should check .NET framework 3.5 before downloading the iso because it might be difficult to install later if you need internet explorer and that's why you use windows 10 instead of 11 I recommend that you do that
I've been using SL at work for a while, and have decided to go solo and download it on my home computer. I have an M1 MacBook so have downloaded it to my virtual machine (parallels). It seems to run well on first glance but I am noticing that the trigger wizard is very slow to open and use, as well as other bits and bobs. Does anyone know of any reasons for this or fixes I can try as I'm afraid it will slow my workflow down and make the experience of using SL not very enjoyable. I love my Mac and it is lighting quick with native apps on Mac OS.
Hi, Jonathan - I am just jumping in to say I got my new M1 mac desktop this week, and I am having exactly the same problem! I had so hoped that Storyline performance would improve on the new machine, but honestly, it seems worse. The other apps I use (Adobe, etc.) are all blazing fast on the M1. There is an older article here -articulate-software-on-a-mac-with-parallels-desktop#profile that suggests disabling the shared profile and working exclusively in the windows environment, which is how I had it set up before. I would prefer not to do that on the new machine, so I am wondering if that will be necessary on the M1 mac. One of the links on that page suggests that Parallels Desktop 16.5 and later support Apple M1 and Intel processors and work with Windows 10 on ARM Insider Preview. When I downloaded Parallels 17, it automatically installed Windows 11. Since these articles are about 8 months old I am not sure how valid this advice is.I will be following this thread along with you. 2ff7e9595c
