I'm not upgrading blindly, but I do upgrade every year, so that is sort of falling into a "subscription" concept.
That said, I can upgrade THIS year for 49.99, the same as for a "permanent" license, which quits working well if you don't upgrade anyway.
But - NEXT year? Parallels isn't that consistent. Will p12 pro be 99.99? or will there be another "offer"? or could I downgrade to standard p12?

I called Parallels US offices last week. The representative I talked with confirmed that Pro subscription should cost 99,99 $ next year(s).
And don't forget Parallels can also raise the price to its liking.
Unless you really need Pro version features, don't make yourself captive jumping on Pro subscription (step that would incite Parallels to go further into the bad loop they initiate for customers).
Yeah, I ran into the same issue with Parallels 11--only 8GB vRAM per VM in the standard edition I was trying to run some heavier apps in a Windows VM and it just wasn't cutting it. Ended up upgrading to the Pro version, and the difference was night and day. Once I could bump up the RAM and CPU, everything ran way smoother. If you're doing more than light work in your VMs, the Pro upgrade is definitely worth it
