Crack Activation Code For Parallels 12 For Mac

A new version of Mac-based virtualization software Parallels Desktop was released today. Parallels Desktop 14 offers disk space efficiency improvements, faster application-launch speeds, macOS Mojave support, expanded Touch Bar support, better OpenGL graphics performance, and several other improvements.

Most people who use Parallels use it to run Windows within macOS, and the updates focus on that by improving performance and adding new features to make the two operating systems work more seamlessly together.

The key feature the Parallels team is pushing for this release is storage optimization. Virtual machines can take up a lot of space, and that can be a problem when you're working with limited solid-state storage in modern MacBooks. This release claims to free up significant disk space in most (but not all) cases—up to 20GB in some situations. There's also a 'Free Up Disk Space' feature that will, in some cases, make it easier to pinpoint where you can achieve some savings. Some of the general space savings come from more efficient compression for states saved with the Snapshots feature.

Parallels Desktop 14 also brings improved graphics performance in certain Windows applications, using the multi-platform OpenGL graphics API. Of course, Apple announced at its developer conference in June that OpenGL will be deprecated in macOS, with Apple's own Metal graphics API the only supported path going forward. When we asked a Parallels developer about this, he told us that OpenGL still works for the immediately foreseeable future but that the Parallels team is working on future solutions involving Metal.

Last year, Parallels added Touch Bar support for Windows applications. That is greatly expanded in Parallels Desktop 14. New applications are now supported out of the box, including:

  • Microsoft Visio and OneNote
  • SketchUp
  • AutoCAD
  • Revit
  • Quicken
  • QuickBooks
  • Visual Studio

Parallels includes a tool for creating custom Touch Bar layouts for Windows applications that are not already supported; this release makes that particularly powerful with an XML authoring feature.

Other features include shared camera support for cameras with up to 4K resolution, Microsoft Ink support for Microsoft Office with pressure-sensitivity support in some applications, faster boot times and application launch speeds, faster suspend operations on APFS partitions, significantly improved performance on the iMac Pro with AVX-512, and small UX improvements like progress bars in the dock for Windows applications.

Parallels Desktop 14 is available now with an annual subscription starting at $79.99 or a perpetual license at $99.99. The Pro and Business editions will set you back a bit more, though—$99.99 per year.

It’s that time of year—iPhone pre-order season, and the release of a new macOS. Just like the new iPhone X, this year’s macOS release has IT administrators excited, as well as nervous. This year, there is ample reason to be excited, with the release of Apple File System (APFS). If you have not yet heard about the new file system, Apple’s web site has more detailed information.

Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM customers have been asking about compatibility with APFS since it was first rumored. As the API keeps evolving, it was uncertain what the final release would look like, but now we are able to answer questions and share some great news.

Parallels Mac Management v6.1

In early October, we plan to release Parallels Mac Management v6.1. This release will officially support macOS High Sierra 10.13. You can expect Parallels Mac Management to work seamlessly with macOS High Sierra, with just a few limitations:

  • In rare cases, a Mac may not be able to NetBoot a macOS image; you may see a blank screen at the end of the boot sequence. We are investigating the issue and will update users with more information as soon as it is available.
  • The Format and Partition Disk task sequence step has limited support for APFS.
  • The following OSD scenarios are supported by Parallels Mac Management v6.1:
    • Apply macOS High Sierra 10.13 to a Mac that has already upgraded to 10.13, without re-partitioning
    • Format and partition, then apply macOS High Sierra 10.13 with implicit conversion to APFS

Parallels Mac Management Releases Prior to v6.1

Releases prior to v6.1 are not officially supported on macOS High Sierra. If you need to manage macOS High Sierra devices you must upgrade to Parallels Mac Management 6.1 (or newer). At the time of writing, we are aware of the following compatibility issues with macOS High Sierra:

  • Not able to create a boot image from a Mac with macOS High Sierra installed
  • Not able to create a system image from an APFS volume
  • No APFS support in the Format and Partition Disk task sequence step
  • Not able to enable FileVault2 on an APFS volume
  • If during macOS upgrade the encrypted disk is convert to APFS, the recovery key will not be shown in the Mac device resource properties (the key will not be lost, only not shown)
  • Not able to enroll a Mac with macOS High Sierra installed in the Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP)
