Overview

  • The release accounts for macOS Tahoe’s new background process limits so setup routines and Coherence mode continue to run smoothly.
  • Windows virtual machines can now read available disk space on the Mac host to reduce installation failures, slowdowns, and crashes.
  • A new Enterprise Management Portal enables IT to enforce settings such as shared folders, USB access, clipboard sharing, and network modes across users.
  • Jamf Pro and other MDM tools can monitor and manage Windows OS updates inside Windows VMs, with Parallels-provided scripts on GitHub for status checks and triggering installs.
  • Parallels reports passing a SOC 2 Type II audit, and Desktop 26 is available now in Standard, Pro, Business, and Enterprise editions with a 14-day trial and published pricing.
