Open Parallels and run the VM, it should run normally, after it runs you can change the date back.You may find the emails that say your trial started or ended, take the dates and change the date exactly in this date range. After you could open your VM, close the Parallels, and change the system time and date exactly within the range of dates you had a trial for, not earlier or later.Then instead of installing a new Windows VM, press the 'Open' button and find your VM.Delete current Parallels from your Mac, BUT DON'T DELETE YOUR VIRTUAL MACHINE, it should be under user -> Parallels.Get the Windows image somehow, I think there are some non-official download links or check this thread.After installation you will be prompted to log in, buy or get the trial if you already used your trial see the trial reset steps below, if not just get the trial and start using it.Parallels will offer you to install Windows 11 and install it.Download and install the latest Parallels from the official website.Then run the VM normally and you can use prlctl again.įor those who are new to this, these are the steps: So for those who already reset the trial before, I'll be short, you just need to revert the date within the range of dates you had the trial, you may find the emails that say your trial started or ended, take the dates and change date exactly in this date range. And even when I tried reverting the date and getting the trial again I got this error: 'We cannot offer you a new trial because a trial period has already been requested from this Mac. I started getting this error recently while casually starting the VM: “The command is available only in Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro or Business Edition.'. Hey, I think I figured out a 100% working solution Many have mentioned this, but the PD Runner made by a Chinese dude is the most consistent method so far.This is why you have to manually change the clock back after launching the PD app.

However, your access to the internet may be limited as certain websites prevent you visiting their domain if your system clock doesn't match the server clock.

Run a ShortCut script that winds the clock back to the day I signed up for the trial every time I open the Parallels Desktop app, then turn the clock back to default once it's launched.

I am not familiar with the Luhn Algorithm or how it works in this scenario, but does it open any possibility of us creating keys for ourselves?Īnyways, the two methods I'm using right now are:

if it is link to a user the software is activated.

if the key is NOT link the user get this message: If this is a key for Parallels Desktop Business Edition, please follow these instructions or contact your system administrator.

when _ % 10 = 0 (key is valid) the key is sent to Parallel database to see if the key is link to a users.

Parallel Desktop make their keys using Luhn Algorithm.
