    Hi,
    I have a full license of Parallels Desktop 11 for only one computer currently working on a mac. Now I need to run Parallels Desktop on a second new computer and my question is whether I should purchase a new full license of Parallels Desktop 12 for the new computer or (if it is possible) to upgrade my old license to Parallels 12 for TWO computers. In this way, I could run Parallels 12 on the two computers. Is this last option possible?
    Thanks!
    Angel.

    Hi Angel. It's always one license per computer as far as Parallels Desktop is concerned, as per our licensing policy. Because you have a Parallels 11 license and need Parallels on 2 computers, you can buy one Parallels 12 upgrade license and one Parallels 12 full license.

    follow-up question:
    if i buy a perpetual license for Parallels 17 or 18,
    can i use it on the same Computer (Mac) for 2 different partitions (one hosting MacOS Mojave and one hosting MacOS Monterey)?
    in this case, only Parallels 17 would be interesting, as it would be compatible with both OS, i guess.

    follow up: same case of original message, however I need to use my subscript (Parallels Desktop for Mac Standard (1 Year) STUDENT EDITION) in two computers BUT NEVER AT THE SAME TIME (either I am home or in school). Is it possible to have Parallels installed on both computers in this case? Or I have to buy two licences?
