Hi

Just installed W11 with the installation of Parallels Desktop for Mac on my new MacBook Pro M3 Pro.
Looks like it's working well but I have a popup window time to time indicating that I must activate Windows now with authenticated Windows license and then proposed me to buy either a Product Key or to enter a Product Key.
Does it means that I must indeed buy a W11 license or not ?
Naively I thought that Parallels comes with Windows 11 license as it's automatically proposed to be installed when you run Parallels installation :(

thanks
Bruno

Hello Bruno,
Thank you for reaching out.
Parallels Desktop for Mac does not include Microsoft Windows. A license for Parallels Desktop for Mac is the license key that allows you to activate only Parallels Desktop, the license key isn't supposed to activate Windows.
You may consult this article for more details: https://kb.parallels.com/9003
Thanks
