We've received a number of questions about pre-ordering, most of them inquiring as to why permanent keys aren't sent immediately after a pre-order is placed. This thread answers that question. When you pre-order a copy of Parallels Workstation, you're effectively buying a "place holder" for one of the first keys that are available when the product is ready for sale. Here's how things will work when you pre-order: 1. Submit your order online at the Parallels Online Store. 2. Save $10 because you're smart and took advantage of our great pre-order discount. 3. Download the beta product at the Download Center. 4. Click "Get a trial key", which will get you a 30-day beta key and enable you to use the product during the beta program. SIDE NOTE: If you have a key that's ready to expire, you should have received a replacement key via email. If you didn't, email support at macsupport@parallels.com and they'll help you out. 5. The minute the product is released, you'll receive a permanent activiation activation key and a download link for the GA product. 6. Update Parallels, input the key, and get back to work with your Parallels virtual machines! I hope this clears things up. Thanks again for your support, and your patience!
thanks for this info. by the way do you have any idea when the new beta version will be released or the GA version? another question, in this future version, USB support will be fixed? thanks Dinho
