Parallels Desktop Pro creates a secure, isolated container—a virtual machine—on your Mac. Inside that container you install a full copy of Windows, Linux, or even another macOS instance. The guest operating system runs at near-native speed and shares your Mac's keyboard, trackpad, network connection, and peripherals. You can switch between Mac and Windows applications as if they were all native, copy files across the boundary, and even use Windows apps in full-screen or windowed mode on a separate Spaces desktop. For developers, the Pro edition adds scripting hooks and headless VM operation, so you can spin up test servers from a terminal without ever seeing a graphical interface. The license is valid for 12 months and includes all feature updates released by Parallels during that period. Renew annually to maintain access to the Pro toolset.
System requirements / compatibility
Parallels Desktop Pro runs on Intel and Apple Silicon (M-series) Macs with macOS as the host operating system. The vendor recommends at least 4 GB of RAM, though 2 GB is the absolute minimum for a basic guest. You will need 2 GB of free disk space for the Parallels application itself, plus additional storage for each virtual machine and its installed applications—plan for at least 20–30 GB per VM for comfortable use. An internet connection is required during initial activation and for certain online features. The product interface and support documentation are available in English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish. Because exact requirements vary depending on the guest operating system you install and the edition of Parallels you run, we strongly recommend checking the latest specifications on the official Parallels website before purchase.
Installation and activation
After completing your purchase on the Lizensa secure checkout, you will receive an email—typically within 60 seconds—containing your license key and a link to download the Parallels Desktop Pro installer. Save the email or copy the key to a safe place. Download the installer directly from the Parallels servers, drag the application to your Mac's Applications folder, and launch it. The setup wizard will prompt you to sign in with a Parallels account (free to create) and enter the license key. Once the key is validated, your Pro features unlock immediately. If you encounter any activation errors, Lizensa's EU-based support team is available by email to help troubleshoot. You may reinstall the software on the same Mac as many times as needed during the subscription term. The license is tied to your Parallels account, making reinstallation straightforward.
Why choose Lizensa for your software licenses
When you buy a business-critical tool like Parallels Desktop Pro, the license source matters as much as the software itself. Lizensa has built its reputation on delivering genuine, fully verified software licenses from authorised European distribution channels. Every key we sell is legitimate, individually checked, and backed by full EU consumer protection. Your purchase confirmation arrives by email almost instantly—our average delivery time is under one minute—so you can start your download while your need is still urgent. Payment is processed through Stripe, one of the world's most trusted payment gateways, and we accept SEPA bank transfers, iDEAL, BLIK, Google Pay, and all major credit and debit cards. A proper VAT invoice is issued with every order; business buyers can request reverse-charge treatment where applicable. If you change your mind, you are covered by a 14-day right of withdrawal under EU law. And if you get stuck during installation or activation, our multilingual support team is ready to help at no extra cost. Your license is valid for activation across all 27 EU member states.
FAQ — frequently asked questions

This is a 12-month subscription license. You pay once for a full year of access to all Pro features and updates. To continue using the software after the year ends, you will need to renew the subscription.
What is the difference between Parallels Desktop standard and Pro editions?
The Pro edition adds features for developers and IT professionals: advanced networking tools, integration with Vagrant and Docker, support for up to 128 GB vRAM and 16 vCPUs per VM, and business-focused deployment options. The standard edition is designed for home and student use with lower resource limits.

Can I reinstall Parallels Desktop Pro on a new Mac?

Does this license work in my country?
Yes. Lizensa licenses are valid for activation across all 27 European Union member states. If you are purchasing from outside the EU, activation may still work, but we recommend verifying regional compatibility on the Parallels website.

Do you provide a VAT invoice?

What is your refund policy?
Under EU consumer law, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal on digital goods purchased from Lizensa. If you have not yet activated or downloaded the license, we will issue a full refund. Once a key has been activated, refund eligibility depends on the specific circumstances.
Can I run Windows 11 on an Apple Silicon Mac with this license?
Yes. Parallels Desktop Pro fully supports Windows 11 on ARM for Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) Macs. You will need a licensed copy of Windows 11 for ARM, which is sold separately.
Do I need to buy Windows separately?
Yes. Parallels Desktop Pro provides the virtualisation platform. You must supply your own licensed copy of Windows, Linux, or any other guest operating system you wish to install. Lizensa offers Windows 11 Pro licenses that pair perfectly with this product.
