Parallels Pro Edition to Desktop downgrade

[IvanP1]

I have the annual subscription to Parallels Pro that just expired. Can I downgrade to Desktop with no additional fee or I should buy it on general terms?

Unfortunately, we don't have an option of downgrading a license. We see that your subscription is in grace period you can renew it or purchase a Parallels Desktop 12 Standard Upgrade as you already have a Parallels Desktop 10 key.

This is bull, Pay $99 a year and own nothing? You just lost a customer.

I got the same problem as yours. If you have the series of PD12, you can download PD12 and activate it again. The policy of parallels really sucks!!

I have been considering buying Pro for a year just because I need virtualization support but only for a short period.
Thank you for giving me a strong argument against buying Pro!
I must search for alternatives

Same with me if I had known I would have never gone with a subscription I guess tanks for nothing I have paid for Parallels Desktop versions 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 13.

I guess no one cares what you have done in the past to support them or how much you have invested, well thanks for not much!!
