    Parallels Desktop for Mac registration and activation

    • Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition


    • Parallels Desktop for Mac Standard Edition

    Registration
    Once you start a virtual machine in Parallels Desktop for Mac for the first time, it will prompt you to create or sign
    in to a Parallels account. The Parallels account allows you to store your license keys in one place, contact the
    Parallels support team, get information about critical updates, manage your subscriptions, and more.

    If you don't have a Parallels account, select the option I am a new user and click Create Account, then follow the
    onscreen instructions.

    If you have an account, select I have a password and enter your account credentials.
    The activation key you will enter in the next step will be registered under the account you signed in to. If you
    would like to change the account you are signed in to, click on the Parallels Desktop menu and select Account &
    License. In the new window, click on the account email address and choose Sign Out.
    You can also register a license online at my.parallels.com in the Register Key window.

    Activation
    To activate Parallels Desktop, you need to connect your Mac to the Internet.

    Once you have signed in to your Parallels account, Parallels Desktop will prompt you to activate the application.

    • To activate Parallels Desktop with a full license, you only need a license key for the version you are
    installing.
    • To activate Parallels Desktop with an upgrade license, you need two keys: the upgrade key for the version
    you are installing, and a key for one of previous versions.
    Note: An upgrade license key cannot be used for activation after using a trial version, to extend an expired
    subscription or if there is no license key from a previous version available. In such cases, please visit the
    Parallels Online Store to purchase a full license for Parallels Desktop for Mac.

    versions. Click Activate.

    Desktop to the latest version with the license you own. Just download and install the latest Parallels Desktop
    version. A subscription allows you to upgrade to the latest version at no additional charge as long as the
