Anyone happen to try this with the just released Parallels Desktop 18 yet? Does it work the same?

It works.

trial alert?

As per the error message you need to login your account even if its expired, if you're having problem with the serial key message, roll back your date to the first time you tried the parallels 14 days trial. Then you will not encounter that error anymore.

How to turn off the notifications about license?

I'm using Parallels Desktop 18 and pd runner 0.3.8. When pd runner blocks the trail alert, parallels suspends the VM and I have to restart it from pd runner. This is the first time that I have this problem. How can I resolve it?

So from today around midday it seems PD Runner has finally stopped working for me too, thanks stupid brain for not disabling updates...

VM keeps suspending itself after about 5 minutes. Can't resume -> shut down -> quit all -> restart through PD but the same over and over again. Tried deleting json file but as someone said earlier it just regenerates. Uninstalled v18 and just for giggles wanted to see if I could just install latest v17 that worked, but no such luck. Anybody else any luck?

That does not work any more, Parallels still gives "already a license requested" :(

Help! I installed PD Runner 0.3.8, and when I launch it, the icon does not appear in the menu bar. I managed to open the executable file through the terminal, and everything seems to be working fine, correct logs appear (AM Helper installed, AM Run loop...), but the icon does not appear in the menu bar. How can I get this working? Maybe there is a way to launch a VM through the terminal?
I tried downloading PD Runner 0.3.8 from different sources, but the result is the same.

I'm using PD Runner with Parallels 18 on a Macbook Pro M1 2022. It works, but after 10 minutes of use Parallels shuts down my VM. I have to start again the VM with PD Runner. Any ideas?

Same thing for me, we have to wait for an update......

PD Runner 0.3.8 on Monterey interferes with my 2020 Intel iMac's sleep. Only the screen turns off, the exhaust fans keeps running and the machine stays active. I've tested this on a fresh install.

The same version causes no issues with sleep on Big Sur.

Back to using the prlctl method for now.

You shouldnt keep PD Runner running always even when not using a VM then.

Quitting it makes no difference once I've used the PD Runner to start the VM. Even unloading the helper tool from /Library/LaunchDaemons using the terminal command doesn't change the abnormal sleep behavior. Only way to get the iMac to sleep properly is to restart the machine and not touch PD Runner at all.

i am using pd runner 0.3.8 and parallels 18
and the trial alert message keep popping out every 3 miniutes.
the popped message seems to be blocked as soon as it comes out by pd-runner, but it still annoying me and once the message try to pop up and be blocked by pd-runner the window11 go to sleep mode so they need to be got up using clicking
Is there a way to stop them from the beginning? So that it doesn't pop out?

i already activate that the trial alert block , set authorization of pd runner in MAC os preferences.

It only works with version 17.1.0 or below. There are complete instructions in this very thread.

Yeah nah, if you bother to look at the comments you'd see that torrent is as pointless as they get. We just have to wait and hope that they fix a new version of PD runner to deal with new restrictions the Parallels team obviously has put in.

interesting. I downloaded it and it works 100%.

The torrent you linked is fine for Intel Macs, but doesn't work on M1/M2 (see the comments in the post).

I have exactly the same problem. Please tell us, how to solve this problem?

No fix afaik, new Parallels killed PD for now, hoping someone will update for 0.3.9.

Also if you run it without PD, it'll start popping up with "this trial has lapsed" and you can't even start a new one as they're pretty good with identifying the machine you ordered the previous trial on.

Considering that Parallels (and the owner corp Corel) have been smashing people with Cease And Desists for a while now, I'm hoping for the best but who knows.

All the information there is at the moment, let's wait for more details.
