About Parallels
Parallels makes virtualization software, best known for Parallels Desktop, which runs Windows and its apps on a Mac, plus Parallels RAS for business remote access.
Desktop is sold as a yearly subscription in Standard, Pro, Business and Enterprise editions, and students and teachers can take 50% off the Pro Edition.
Parallels is headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and trades as Parallels International GmbH. Beyond the Desktop app, its catalogue includes Parallels Toolbox for individual users and several business products: Parallels Secure Workspace for zero-trust access to apps and files through a browser, Parallels DaaS for streaming apps and desktops from the cloud, and Parallels Browser Isolation for reaching web and SaaS tools more safely. Desktop runs on both Intel and Apple silicon Macs.
Parallels describes itself as a worldwide leader in software that works across operating systems and devices. Its use cases include gaming and development work, with integrations listed for Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop, Visual Studio Code, Vagrant and GitHub. Desktop subscriptions come with phone, chat and email support around the clock, while buyers need to supply their own Windows license.

How to use a Parallels coupon
- Start with the 14-day trial before you spend anything.
- Then buy on parallels.com if you want the 30-day money-back guarantee, because copies bought from a retailer follow that retailer's policy instead.
- If you're a student, teacher or in the military, your saving runs through Parallels' own verification form rather than a typed code, so confirm you qualify before looking for one.
- Choose the edition with care, too.
- Pro is built for developers and power users, and Standard covers light home use, so Pro only earns its price if you need it.
- Whichever edition you pick, a Windows license isn't part of the deal.
More ways to save at Parallels
- Group pricing is the main lever at Parallels.
- Students and teachers verify once for 50% off the Pro Edition, and government, nonprofit and charity staff in the US, Canada and UK get their own discounted pricing.
- Budget for a separate Windows license, since Parallels Desktop doesn't include one.
- Renewals fall outside the money-back guarantee, so make up your mind about keeping the subscription before your yearly renewal.
