Pricing: Creating and editing virtual machine configurations is available for free. Running virtual machines requires an in-app purchase of an auto-renewable subscription 1 year. You can cancel at any time. There is a fully functional day trial, so you can test Parallels Desktop before you commit.
Note: Microsoft Windows is not included and must be purchased separately. Payment will be charged to the Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off no later than 24 hours before the end of the current period. If you want to download the software on your windows pc or mac, you could either first visit the Mac store or Microsoft AppStore and search for the app OR you can easily use any of the download links we provided above under the "Download and Install" header section to download the application.
Our download links are from safe sources and are frequently virus scanned to protect you. Before downloading your app from App Store, I missed the line in the description which said Windows VMs need a paid subscription.
If I didn't, I would never download it. And it had made sense why Lite is free and Standart is not. Standart has great features that I might consider paying for but Lite has no advantage over VirtualBox.
If I remember correctly, you didn't have a Lite version at the beginning. This also adds to the cost of Parallels Lite. As a summary, I may consider paying for Parallels Standart because of great features but will never pay for the Lite when its equivalent software is free. The free version used to support Linux.
Parallels has opted to change this to a subscription based feature in an update. I would be okay with this if the new version was a separate app i. Instead, auto-update kicked in, I find myself in front of a screen demanding a login not previously required when I'm trying to get unversity work done on a time crunch, and I find out that the software wants to charge me going forward after a trial period.
Again, my biggest issue with this is the update to an existing app--most other apps that have gone to a subscription model have a separate app store listing for their new version to avoid this problem, or permanently grandfather in old users to certain feature sets.
If parallels communicated this change at some point, they did not do so in the app any time I've been using it the last few months, and I must say I'm very disappointed.
