    Hi,

    I have bought a new license and I want to activate my Parallels product without the need to create an account!
    Is creating an account and logging in mandatory now? this wasn't the case on Parallels Desktop 12!

    I mean, I have bought a perpetual license key, why can't I just activate my software without creating an account and I always logging in?!

    I don't have a subscription, just a standard license that want to work with Parallels on an offline machine.
    Please advise how to do that?

    The article above does not satisfy the offline requirement. How can we activate a Parallel's desktop license offline? It's available in the man page: `prlsrvctl install-license-offline -f, --file <path-to-license-file>` so how can this be accomplished?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem and contacted the support. After some discussions, they finally turned me down and said that parallels doesn't support offline activation. i don't believe that, they don't want to disclose that for some reason. The prlsrvctl tool has the option, but does anyone know where one can find the license-file?
    Or maybe someone has another idea how to activate Parallels Desktop offline?
