Virtual Machine retro-compatibility (from Parallels 11 to Parallels 8)

Hello. I purchase a license for Parallels 11 and installed my Windows 7 VM succesfully.
I remember I already purchased in the past a Parallels 8 license, so my question: can I use (or convert) the actual VM created under Parallels 11 into my Parallels 8 installation ?
Thank you all in advance.
 
Hello Pedrera,
Yes, you can use the same virtual machine files with different versions of Parallels Desktop, Parallels Desktop would automatically retrieve the virtual machine files immediately after the installation from the earlier version.

earlier version ? My question is about copy virtual machine files from the newest Parallels 11 to the oldest 8... Do you confirm that I can use NEW VM with OLD Parallels version ?
 
Hello Pedrera,
Yes, you are right! You can use the new virtual machine and it files on the earlier versions of Parallels Desktop.
In order to transfer the existing virtual machine to new or old Parallels Desktop, kindly follow this article.
