Bought a used m1 MacBook Pro, Parallels won't allow me to try their product before I buy.

[Touba]

I want to try Parallels in m1 first before buying. Is there other way for me to test Parallels for m1? Thank you very much.

This is what parallels say whenever I click the 14 day trial: "We cannot offer you a new trial because a trial period has already been requested from this Mac. The previous trial has expired."

Hello,
did you already test it?

Not yet. Thanks for the assistance.

I imagine the previous owner of the Mac used the trial before you bought it. But you might be able to get another one if you reformat it, maybe?

Thanks for the response. I have already reformatted for six times but I stilll get the same problem: "We cannot offer you a new trial because a trial period has already been requested from this Mac. The previous trial has expired."

Hello! I've created a 15-day temporary Parallels Desktop Pro key under your account to let you evaluate the product.

Hello!
Your case is a bit different. I see you've already activated a trial version for 16.5.0 (M1) a month and a half ago. We have some limitations that do not allow installing a trial version again on the same host within some period after the last trial period has ended. So, I'd recommend you purchase a license at our website https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/buy/?new and if you don't like it, you can request a refund within a 30-day period as described in https://kb.parallels.com/123877 . Meanwhile, you'll also have a chance to ask our support representatives for help.

Have a nice day!

Dear sir,
Even I have the prompt which says that " We cannot offer you a free trial because your Mac has already requested for a free trial and it has expired ". I have got a second hand Mac mini m1.

Hello Minaxi,

Do I get you right that you have never used a trial on this host? We have some limitations and the licensing server is supposed not to allow activating Parallels Desktop on the same Mac with a trial key within a certain period of time.
If you've never activated Parallels Desktop on this Mac with a trial key but the prompt in question has appeared for some reason, kindly collect a technical report as described in https://kb.parallels.com/9058 and send me its number in your reply. We'll have a look.

Lol funny ...
Did that guy just pretended that he had never used the trial ?

Not sure if it is the same with me, just bought an used Macbook air and tried to test parallels and I got the message
We cannot offer you a new trial because a trial period has already been requested from this Mac. The previous trial has expired.

But when I bought, the previous owner had formated the computer. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello,
As a matter of exception, I've generated a temporary 10-day Parallels Desktop Pro license key under your grazi***@gmail.com account. Please use it to activate Parallels Desktop.

MikhailU@Parallels,

I had just purchased a new Macbook Pro (M1 pro) around christmas and installed Parallels desktop. However, I met with an accident and could never try it out. I just want to make sure that the x64 programs I am interested in continue to work with the M1 Pro chip (which uses Arm64). Could you make an exception for me and help me with a 14 day trial?

Note: I did try to start a trial with a different gmail account. So that may show up in your records against my macbook too.

Thanks,
Raghu
