Hi,

I own a one time purchase version 20 standard. I'd like to test the perfomances of Autodesk Inventor Read Only on my M4 Mac.
Standard Edition lag a to, so I'd like to try the latest Pro to see if the performances are really better or not, before purchasing it.

Is it possible? How I should do? I don't want to change my license if the result are not far better, so I don't want to create problems with my existing license.

Thanks

Luca

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
You can follow the steps below for your test:
1. Backup your virtual machine (Important)

  • Open the Parallels Control Center from your Mac dock or menu bar.
  • Right-click your virtual machine and choose Show in Finder.
  • Locate the file ending in .pvm (e.g., Windows 10.pvm).
  • Copy and paste this file to an external hard drive or secure storage location.

2. Download and install Parallels Desktop 26 using the link

Thanks
 
Test passed.
What it the best way to upgrade my license?
- Purchase a new Pro license (listed at 65,99€)?
- Is it possibile to purchase an upgrade to Pro (listed at 55,99€)?
If I try to upgrade the license from the app I can see only the full price (119,99€)

Thanks
