    Parallels Access agent hangs at "Turning On..." and never connects. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Yes, same issue. I would hope that Parallels would stop the clock (calendar?) on trial period until problem is resolved.

    Also, 'preferences' seems to not work. just displays Access "turning on..." screen.

    I'm having the same problem on my mac mini at home. No problem on my MBP at work. Both are running 10.8.4

    The timer has not started ticking on my mini that isn't connecting yet so that's good.

    If you are using WiFi between your Mac Mini and your router, try an Ethernet cable instead. It worked for me. I'm not sure why the WiFi connection doesn't want to work with Agent in this case, but I'm sure that somebody will come up with he answer. I'd like to get back to just a WiFi connection between my iMac and my Airport Extreme router.

    I had the same problem, but I was using a USB Ethernet adapter on my MacBook Air. I turned on WiFi and unplugged the Ethernet cable and it started working. So, who knows...

    I also cannot solve this problem. Have you already done it? If done, could you give me some tips on how to solve the problem " Turning on"

    I'm having the same problem...

    New MBP and iMac stopped working. Hangs on "turning on." I logged out, reinstalled … and now I get a "cannot connect with the server" error message. Contacted support. Advice is useless.

    A week ago, Access Desktop was stuck on "Turning On" on both my Macbook Pro and iMac. Both Macs are running on the same office network. (I installed PA on a Mac at my home and it worked perfectly.) Parallels tech support was, as it has always been … completely useless.

    The problem is that Parallels Access 2.0.1 (26400) cannot run on two computers on the same network.

    This morning, I used the Access uninstall script to remove PA from both computers. Reinstalled PA on my Macbook Pro and it works fine. What a waste of time figuring this out.
