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!

Just reinstall parallels desktop (no need to uninstall it just run the installer without deleting parallels) and check if it opens and loads correctly. If it does install the crack. I had the exact same problem and these steps solved it. Please inform me if it worked for you too

I got the problem report files but are a lot, so maybe if anyone who knows where and what to search would help, that'd be great. Thanks a lot

Hi all - thought I'd share this as I was just searching for time saving solution so I just wrote and uploaded a simple script.

It will automatically change date/time, open parallels, wait and finally revert back to correct date/time.

You can amend date/time to suit you and the app (you can use it for parallels, logicX and many more). It's the first script I've written so hopefully you find it useful.

Hey @Aryacap - have you seen my script?
I have considered this issue. The script changes the date/time ONLY for the duration of the time it takes for the app to open, then it reverts back (10 seconds). This means there is NO ISSUE with apps / websites that require NTP to run

Odd. Worked for me - although everytime the session paused or shut down, I’d have to launch it via the script again. It’s only a half useful work around tbh, so I think I’ll end up just buying a key too tbh 😅 worth a try!

Looks like the solution might be to use PDPatcher_18.1.1-53328.pkg. You have to use 18.1.1, not 18.2.0, but it seems that it disables the update and PD works. Available in the github linked two posts above

@faslanetech

Yo can close this and say "keep current version" but it will popup again..you can also turn off automatically check for updates but I STILL got this. I believe it's because they know 18.1.1 is being pirated because I launched a install.ph cracked version and it kept crashing and then the log it wanted to send said specifically invalid license or something like that. so it forces you to update, once you do it requires an account or paid version and you have to login to use it. I have a valid account until June so mine works after updated when I sign into it but if I don't sign in the pervious install no longer works. Bottom line we need a patch for 18.2. :-(. I found one online that seemed like it worked only to crash the app once I launched it and I couldn't even quit parallels, I had to force it to quit so that patch floating around is garbage and probably something malicious.

USAGE

  1. Install Parallels Desktop
  2. Sign out your'e account
  3. Install Xcode from the App Store
  4. Open Terminal (PLEASE CHECK THIS! Enable System Preferences ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Full Disk Access ▸ Terminal)
  5. Clone the respository git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/trueToastedCode/ParallelsLab.git && cd ParallelsLab && git submodule update --init --recursive
  6. Install chmod +x install.sh && chmod +x reset.command && sudo ./install.sh downgrade_vm

I highly recommend downgrade_vm, unless you experience Bugs. But for me, it had already worked perfectly fine.

Mode Network USB System Integrity Protection (SIP) Latest Bug Fixes All Platforms No additional launcher Mac VM
no_usb ⚠️
downgrade_vm
no_sip

No USB (no_usb)

The No USB mode relies on closed source for the Dispatcher but uses open source code for the VM, which fixes a Network error, I am not able to reproduce. It uses com.apple.security.* entitlements instead of com.apple.vm.*. I cannot tell you, if all Network functionality really works, but if you just wan't to open youre Browser, you are good to go with this one. Maybe you are able to reverse engineer this hack 😉

Downgrade VM (downgrade_vm)

It downgrades only the VM so the previous hack works again. However on some platforms, this way of downgrading doesn't work, due to signature errors. Use this older commit instead and downgrade Parallels Desktop entirely.

No System Integrity Protection (SIP) (no_sip)

This method injects code into the framework and therefore no binaries with special entitlements have to be resigned. This only works if you disable SIP and also Library Validation using sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.libraryvalidation.plist DisableLibraryValidation -bool true. This creates security risks, but malware developers rather target whitespread enviroments.

If you really want Parallels to run forever and without nagging, genuine check, etc, you should crack it yourself (outright) instead of messing with trial periods. But I also wouldn't trust any binary downloads posted on the Internet. Sometimes I like to take on the challenge and crack something just to see if I can, not to use the program without paying. Because of that, I will not share any info on how I did it. I can say that you'll need to learn x86 or arm assembly language somewhat and know how to use a debugger.
