Parallels Desktop offers Standard, Pro, and Business editions of its software. The Standard edition, which is intended for home users, costs either a one-time permanent-license fee of $99.99, or $79.99 per year for a subscription. Students can get the Standard edition for $39.99 per year. The subscription includes any upgrades to new versions of the software during the payment period, while anyone who buys a permanent license option is not eligible for free version updates. The Pro and Business editions cost $99.99 per year. You can try any version free for 14 days.
VMware Fusion is pricier than Parallels Desktop. It charges $149 for the standard Player edition and $199 for the Pro version. Upgrades to the latest version of the Player edition for current users cost $79, while upgrades for Pro users to the latest Pro version cost $99. Notably, VMware offers a free version that lets you run existing emulated systems, but not create new ones.
Parallel Desktop 12 For Mac Free Download Full Version
On a Mac with an Intel CPU, you can create virtual systems that run any Intel-based Windows or Linux versions, plus any recent Intel-based versions of macOS from your recovery partition. On these devices, the download menu includes multiple flavors of Android, Linux, and Windows.
Parallels, like VMware Fusion and VirtualBox, lets you run Windows in three ways: with the Windows desktop running in a window on your macOS desktop, in a full-screen mode, or via what Parallels calls Coherence mode. In Coherence mode, Parallels shows only a single Windows app on your Mac desktop in its own window and hides the rest of the Windows desktop. As I discuss in a later section, Parallels Desktop switches in and out of these modes quickly and seamlessly.
You should at least checkout VirtualBox ( ) it is free and opensource and runs great on my Ubuntu box. They have a OSX version and a Windows version. It was a proprietary solution that went opensource a few months ago. I have been using VMWare for about six years on Windows, but since moving to Linux have found VirtualBox to be a better product on Linux than VMWare.
