    Just wondering, where the heck do I find the download link for v17?
    https://kb.parallels.com/5802 => this doesn't have v17.
    The Download link in my receipt just download the latest version.
    This feels really scammy that Parallels promises perpetual license for that version, but good luck finding the download link for that version that you bought.

    Anyone have or know the download link for v17?

    @RubenG4 ive just been through the same process got told V17 is not supported on recent MacOS, its not a compatibility problem looks like Parallels have just intentionally broken connectivity at the install point for recent MacOS. As noted above pretty crappy Parallels deliberately aging out perpetual licences.

    I was able to download "Windows 11 PVM Arm64" from internet archive and just opened win 11 from V17 installed on a Mac mini with MacOS 15.1
    This image complains of TPM when launch and you need to install english language (it's chinese base version), point google sense at the screen to translate to install english lang, but it works fine and looks clean to me.
    @parallels i have bought a number of copies of Parallels over the years and would have upgraded at some point but i really don't like this intentional borking of our perpetual licences for no other reason than to force another sale
