Downloaded the free trial of VMWare – it imported my Parallels machine just fine.
PARALLELS DESKTOP FOR MAC 12 UPGRADE
Had I bought VMWare at the same time, I would have still been eligible for an upgrade at 50% off. I emailed them about the USB issue above and they did not even give me the courtesy of a canned reply.

You have to read through their “forums” and their search engine for those is horrid – returns all kinds of replies about solving problems for other versions for other OS’s. It’s basically self-help if you’re not current. Again, screw that.Īnd the support I got from Parallels *sucked*. For a program that I literally use 2-3x a month, tops. Or you can get a 1-year subscription for $79.99. You pay $79.99 to purchase it and get no free upgrades, ever. And no way to downgrade to the previous version unless I ditched Sierra.Īnd Parallels is basically subscription now. Which is the ONLY reason I needed the product – to print to a legacy Windows-only industrial printer. Screw Parallels – updated to Sierra and the version I had which was only a few years old would not recognize USB devices. MacDailyNews Take: If you have to run Windows apps on your Mac, Parallels Desktop 12 is what you want. The $79.99 version for individuals is an even better deal.”

At $99.99 a year for business and pro users, the service is reasonably priced, especially when the bundled Access and Toolbox features are considered. With Parallels and a big and beefy Mac, developers need only one box to develop and test across various versions of Windows, MacOS (and previous OS X versions) and the plethora of Linux implementations. “the real power of Parallels Desktop isn’t looking backward at legacy applications, it is looking forward to tomorrow’s cross platform applications that require an array of hardware for testing and development. It also allows people to run a number of other operating systems, for a variety of reasons,” Rasmus writes.

“But Parallels goes well beyond Windows 10 cozying up to macOS. “Parallels is also a great alternative to a second machine for those who need a Windows app to complement their normally Macintosh-centric work experience.” If a financial application relies on an old Windows NT or other legacy framework that doesn’t run on Windows 10, let alone on macOS, the choice comes down to investing in new software and the associated implementation costs, or keeping old hardware in play, or using a virtualization solution,” Rasmus writes. “People working outside of large corporations may be surprised by how much of the world continues to run on old software - some supported, some not.

“While these two very different scenarios describe the edges of Parallels Desktop 12’s intended use, it also just runs Windows apps with considerable elegance and good performance.” “Parallels Desktop 12 supports several use cases, most notably that of legacy application support and multi-platform development,” Daniel Rasmus writes for GeekWire.
