Reinstall an earlier version of Parallels

[MaciejT]

I had to install a fresh OSX and now I don't know how to get my Parallels installed again. I had Parallels 4 and then upgraded to 6. I cannot find any download links to the version 6 and I don't want to buy the newest version. Any ideas?

Hello MaciejT,

Please see this Knowledge Base article for all download links to past versions of Parallels Desktop for Mac http://kb.parallels.com/5802

Thank you!

and version 7?

[Specimen]

Funny how the download links (past and current versions) are posted right in my signature and still people seem to ignore them. :)

[MaSc]

Funny how ppl are not aware of the content linked within their own signature ;)

7.0.14924?

[Specimen]

The first link has the download to 7.0.15094.749908 which is the latest version and I just tested (you get the link via email), the second for older versions.

So yes, I'm aware the content is linked correctly.

[MaSc]

that's correct, but this thread is about earlier versions and your second link refers to versions <= 6.

I'd like to know where to find previous versions of v7.

[Specimen]

Maybe you should start another thread for that specific version of 7, the original poster wanted PDM 6.

I don't have access to previous versions of 7 in Parallels servers, I probably have it in Time Machine, but a link should be provided by Parallels staff.

thread title is pretty generic, so it's a good thing to have it here rather than scattered. if a dl location exists even.
meanwhile I dug out the version I needed as well, but it would still be helpful to know.

[Specimen]

The title is generic but the conversation isn't, and you are asking for something very specific that is not publicly available.

Look, I'm just helping here, I couldn't even understand you wanted a previous version of 7, because it was off context with the thread, I'm tired of hearing people complaining they don't get their hymns answered when the very often miss-communicate.

[MaSc]

no need for nit-picking, I asked for v7 in the context of a thread requesting earlier versions.

you got it slightly wrong, np and I still do appreciate your efforts!

[Specimen]

Instead of: "and version 7?"
I suggest the best approach would have been (for future reference): "What about previous versions of (PDM) 7?"

Instead of: "7.0.14924?"
I suggest: "The download link only gives me access to the latest version, I'm looking for version 7.0.14924 specifically"

Instead of: "you got it slightly wrong, np and I still do appreciate your efforts!"
I suggest: "Thank you for your time and patience"

[MaSc]

redundant. there's only one meaningful interpretation of my question, except assuming I'd be a moron asking for a current version within this thread, which you apparently did reading your first reply.

this is not very helpful plus entirely off-topic.
discussion ends here. if you need to continue, let's move to pm.
