    App in VM asks for activation after moving VM from physical HDD to SSD

    ... I clicked on "Post Reply" accidentally and in this forum it is not possible to edit posts. So I'll continue here: WIN XP returns: "Windows XP-0" The second code block in the post above is the output from the Debian VM. There it says: "Device Model: Debian Buster-0" while reporting...

    App in VM asks for activation after moving VM from physical HDD to SSD

    I just found that "APPLE SSD" is not prepended in a Debian or WIN XP VM. WIN XP: DISKPART> select disk 0 Disk 0 is now the selected disk. DISKPART> detail disk Windows XP-0 Disk ID: D6A1D6A1 Type : IDE Bus : 0 Target : 0 LUN ID : 0 Volume Ltr Label Fs Type...

    App in VM asks for activation after moving VM from physical HDD to SSD

    I found that on the host, the detection of HDD vs. SSD is reflected in the file /Users/mabam/Library/Preferences/Parallels/hwInfoCache . There, for an SSD, it says: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ParallelsHostInfo dyn_lists="" schemaVersion="1.0"> [...] <HardDisks...

    App in VM asks for activation after moving VM from physical HDD to SSD

    When moving my Snow Leopard Server VM from an HDD to an SSD, an app requires activation again. Comparing the results of running "system_profiler" in Terminal before and after moving from HDD to SSD, I found this under "Serial-ATA": Before: Snow Leopard Server-0: Capacity...

    Permanently killing 'copypaste' and 'prldragdrop'

    In my case, since using Parallels 14, in my Snow Leopard Server VM there was a small rectangular area in the middle of the VM window. It was transparent and almost invisible (the rectangle was a bit lighter in colour than what was covered by it, maybe 1 % or so). The cursor would respond to any...

    How to trigger Shutdown Dialog in Windows XP using prlctl?

    I can't find a way to edit my initial post. Actually, when adding /F in the command prompt in XP, it also results in the taskbar and desktop items to disappear. So it does refer to the same task as when running it through prlctl. But is it possible to run it from prlctl without having to use...

    How to trigger Shutdown Dialog in Windows XP using prlctl?

    I'm trying to trigger the shutdown dialog in my Windows XP VM using prlctl. If I use the command prompt in XP, the following works: >taskkill /IM explorer.exe But if I use this command with prlctl in Terminal on my macOS host, I get an error: $prlctl exec "Windows XP" taskkill /IM...

    Thank you again! I received a mail saying it has been escalated to the development team for deeper investigation. So I don't know how long it will take, but I'm glad it's being worked on and am very curious on the outcome.

    Transfer Windows 10 To New Mac = New Windows 10 License?

    Hello @Arun, Thank you for your response. The developer doesn't extend the activation possibilities, I'm afraid. Besides that, Parallels Desktop is supposed to be able to keep the virtual environment for a moved VM the same as it has been before, so there shouldn't be any hardware change that...

    Transfer Windows 10 To New Mac = New Windows 10 License?

    I'm trying to move a .pvm file containing Snow Leopard Server from Parallels Desktop 8 on my old Mac to a Parallels Desktop 14 test version on a new Mac. I have done what the article says and clicked "moved". Yet a particular software installed within the VM asks me to activate again (which is a...

    Command-Q not working with OS X guest

    Hello there! I've installed a Parallels 14 test version on High Sierra with a VM containing Snow Leopard as guest. Whenever I want to quit an application running in the guest by pressing command-Q, nothing happens. The mapping from host to guest is correct, just 1:1 in this case. But I don't...
