    Hi,

    I am a current subscribtion member of Parallels 12 but also run VM Fusion on my other 3 macs. This was due their 3 license offer which seemed a better way to go at the time due to cost. Keen on changing at least one of them over to Parallels 12. What crossgrade offers are available?

    Thanks in advance!

    Kind Regards,

    Liam

    Hello guys!
    Is it possible to have more information about this discount?
    Im currently VMFusion user, but Windows10 image is unusable due to the delay! It's really slow!
    I know, my Macbook Pro is not top of the line (Macbook Pro Late 2011 - i5 - 16GB Ram), Im using 2 processor + 12GB on Windows VM but still really slow, Im really tired of it.
    Really want to switch to Parallels, Im trying it this afternoon and performance is really improved!
    Is it possible to get this discount to switch from VM Fusion to Parallels? I can share my Fusion order details without problem, just let me know which information you need and where to send!
    Thanks!
    Caue

    Hi,

    Is this discount still available? I have had a trial of Parallels Desktop and am very impressed much better and quicker than my current VMWare Fusion install. Would be very interested in switching if a discount was available.

    Cheers,

    Mark

    I'm running Parallels in Trial mode and have migrated in my VMware Fusion 8.5 VMs, I can already see that my MacBook Pro runs cooler and the VM performance is snappier. Please can you share the competitive upgrade details - I can provide my VMware purchase order.

    I would also like information regarding a competitive upgrade. I have used VMWare for over 7 years, but my first experience with the Parallels trial makes me wonder why. Everything is smoother and faster in Parallels.

    I have also been a VMware user for 5 years. And have converted the VM for a Parallels trial, and everything seems to work great. I'm hoping to get an upgrade discount as I will pay for this myself, instead of the company...which takes way to long and difficult due to the procurement process here.

    I am unable to figure out how to start a PM. I'm a VMWare Fusion user looking to switch to Parallels due to better performance and support. Tx

    Hi, two things - i have used the last years vmware on windows and mac but on the mac it get everytime hot and thats already while i do nothing on the vm... so i just try out the last days the parallels 12 - it seems that my problem is solved in idle.

    Now i'm interested in the cross grade discount so please write me a pm with the information.

    The other thing is if i can get another 14 days try with my account for new parallels 13 version before i finally buy.
    (i test the last days only version 12 and also i don't found the time to try out my most use cases)

    Thanks for your time.
    -Stephan

    I'm ready to switch to Parallels from Fusion 8.5.8. Any discount incentives to do so?

    It seems that there is no interest to give any discount any longer.
    But some feedback would be nice anyway...

    One Update: the test version automatically have a new trial period after update to the next major release. Now i have enough time to test my use case.
