    Hi all,
    I installed macOS Ventura in a guest VM. I cannot find how to enable Coherence for this VM. Where can I find it?

    Hello,
    Please note that Parallels Desktop Trial version provides all the features as Parallels Desktop Pro and should not be any limitation in this aspect.
    However, as per the description provided, it seems that you are running a guest macOS through Parallels Desktop on an Apple Silicon Mac.

    If this is the case, it's currently not possible to run a macOS Arm VM in Coherence View mode and currently there is no graphical interface to adjust macOS Arm VM configuration as well. However, the configuration can be adjusted manually, as described in https://kb.parallels.com/en/128842 .
    Please note that available options are rather limited.
    Kindly refer to this article for more information: https://kb.parallels.com/en/128867
    Thank you.

    I'm running the Parallels trial license. Is this a known limitation? I thought it was full-featured. I also have no way to access the guest VM's Parallels configuration settings.
