Cause
Parallels Desktop system (kernel) extensions were automatically blocked by the new macOS High Sierra security feature. See Apple's KB Prepare for changes to kernel extensions in macOS High Sierra for more details.
Resolution
Please note that if Parallels Desktop was already installed on Mac at the time of upgrading to macOS High Sierra its kernel extensions will be automatically approved and will not require any user action.

Once Parallels Team ID is approved you can successfully deploy Parallels Desktop to this Mac.
