    I am currently a very satisfied VMware Fusion owner and have purchased Parallels in the past with mixed bag results and emotions
    due to it's semi-unfair upgrade policies and what not. I received an upgrade offer and have decided to give Parallels 11 a shot. I was
    viewing the comparison table provided by Parallels and something caught me eye -> Licensing. One thing I *GREATLY* enjoy about
    VMware Fusion is the ability to run it on all my of personal Macs at home without extra cost. For this reason I have gladly upgraded
    each year. In fact, this is one of my gripes with Parallels, but in the comparison table (included screen shot) I noticed that there is a
    line item for Maximum licenses allowed which is 3 for Desktop and unlimited for the Pro subscription. Does this mean Parallels has
    changed their policy? I'd gladly purchase the Pro subscription if I could load Parallels on my 5 Macs at home (laptop, desktop, and
    3 mac mini servers). I look forward to Parallels official response!

    I read it as you are allowed to buy (@$79. each) up to 5 licenses for the regular version...if you want to install more than that you are a "business" and must buy the $99. Pro plan w/volume license discount pricing. IOW, still one Mac per $79. ($49. upgrade) license. I could be wrong of course...hello Parallels?
