Does it still work after latest update? I won't update quite soon unless they have made updates to DirectX support and video ram under Windows 11, I have a game that checks for dedicated video ram available but refuses to run because thinks theres none, Windows reports zero dedicated ram although I have 4GB (half of my 8GB allocated to Windows in a 16GB MB Air).

The repository was moved to another website (you can find the link in somebasj's profile on GitHub) and updated for 18.0.2.

Found it, thanks. I'm on 18.0.1-53056, you sure it works for 18.0.2 now? Just asking to be careful with the Win 11 VM I have working flawlessly here. I'll read the 18.0.2 Release notes to see if theres anything worth updating.

The new crack works perfectly for v18.0.2.

OK thanks, I've checked their release notes and didn't find any relevant new stuff on 18.0.2, so I'll stick with what is working so far and upgrade when Parallels do something relevant...

Ciao, se scarichi l'archivio dal drive che trovi nei commenti precedenti trovi, all'interno, un file chiamato readme.md, che spiega perfettamente tutti gli step da seguire per installare tutto.

Make sure that prl_disp_service is active (check in activity monitor details)

Yep, tried that, but it also says "No such file or directory" at the bottom. Ive tried deleting and reinstalling Parallels, reinstalling the crack, etc.

If the script doesn't work, you can install it manually (follow the instructions in the readme file) and log out of your Parallels account.

That didn't work either. Might be an issue with Ventura.

It works fine on Ventura.
I do have SIP disabled, though (but it shouldn't matter if you run the resign command anyway).

Hey, I think I figured out a 100% working solution

I started getting this error recently while casually starting the VM: “The command is available only in Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro or Business Edition.". And even when I tried reverting the date and getting the trial again I got this error: "We cannot offer you a new trial because a trial period has already been requested from this Mac. The previous trial has expired."

I'm using 17.0.1

So for those who already reset the trial before, I'll be short, you just need to revert the date within the range of dates you had the trial, you may find the emails that say your trial started or ended, take the dates and change date exactly in this date range. Then run the VM normally and you can use prlctl again.

For those who are new to this, these are the steps:

If you need Windows 11:

  1. Download and install the latest Parallels from the official website
  2. Parallels will offer you to install Windows 11 and install it.
  3. After installation you will be prompted to log in, buy or get the trial if you already used your trial see the trial reset steps below, if not just get the trial and start using it

If you need Windows 10:

  1. Get the Windows image somehow, I think there are some non-official download links or check this thread
  2. Download and install Parallels 17.0.1
  3. Install Windows 10 using

Trial reset steps:

  1. Delete current Parallels from your Mac, BUT DON'T DELETE YOUR VIRTUAL MACHINE, it should be under user -> Parallels.
  2. Download and install Parallels 17.0.1
  3. Then instead of installing a new Windows VM, press the "Open" button and find your VM
  4. After you could open your VM, close the Parallels, and change the system time and date exactly within the range of dates you had a trial for, not earlier or later. You may find the emails that say your trial started or ended, take the dates and change the date exactly in this date range.
  5. Open Parallels and run the VM, it should run normally, after it runs you can change the date back.
  6. IMPORTANT: DO NOT RUN THE VM FROM THE PARALLELS NO MORE, YOU NEED TO USE prlctl COMMAND.

You can find how to use prlctl command above in this gist

This actually works, it's as simple as changing your date and time to the time when you had the free trial. Thanks!
