Can tha whole paraellels instalation including Paralells, XP Pro and the various additional Windows apps be installed on a secondary drive and not my OS X boot drive? If not, which items need to be on the OX X boot drive? needs to be on my OSX boot drive? tia
You can keep all of your VMs in extern storage device. But you can't keep program Parallels on it and run Parallels on different computers. It isn’t correct technically and contradict our license agreement, by which, you can have one licensed product installed on only one machine for every moment.
That doesn't make a lot of sense. If the secondary drive is internal or external, you can put only the VM on it. The app must go on the boot drive or it won't work since it has to install kernel extensions. If you put the entire system on an external drive, including OSX, then you can install everything on the external drive and move it from one machine to another as long as the machines are similar enough to boot the same copy or OSX. In that case, moving the drive to another machine (between home and office for example) will automatically uninstall it on one before installing on the other (uninstall effectively happens when you remove the boot disk). Installing the application on a second machine without removing it from the first violates the license terms. Moving it from one machine to another doesn't (as I read the license).
