    I'm aware there is a limit of running 2 macOS guests simultaneously but since updating to 13.3 it looks like the count is not reset even after shutting down all the VMs. It will still produce the message below not letting me run any macOS guests until I reboot the host Mac.

    To reproduce:
    1. Start any 2 macOS VMs
    2. Shut down all the VMs (also tried restarting Parallels)
    3. Try starting any macOS guest VM. It will fail with the message below.
    (Just to make it clear, I'm not looking to run more than 2 VMs at the same time, just to be able to swap between different machines.)

    It looks like a bug so wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue?

    Also, as a workaround, is there any way to reset the Virtualisation Framework so I don't have to reboot the machine every time?

    @Pramesh Boodadoo the problem can not be solved by reproducing steps from the video. On the video is a Mac with Intel CPU.

    btw, I have the similar issue on my Macs (very often). No matter with Parallels or with UTM.
