Access macOS guest disk when Parallels is expired

[Kent_Boortz]

How can I mount the macOS guest image on macOS to access some files?
My Parallels Pro license expired. I have no longer use for Parallels so was not to renew the license.
I have some files inside the guest that I want to copy. Is there a way to do that? I tried
open /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/Applications/Parallels\ Mounter.app --args /Users/kent/Parallels/macOS.pvm
It did show me a dialog first time I did run it, I clicked "Read only". But then it just vanished and rerunning the command is not giving me anything.
Can I use "qemu-img" to convert it to something macOS can mount?

Oh, I now realized it did "mount" it. I can see a "[C] harddisk" in Finder, the left list of drives

But clicking on it shows no files or directories. From the command line I can see it did mount an empty
/Volumes/.PEVolumes/PEVolume\{dc3bfc37-35a5-4d4b-9e82-4a2b309c8d76\}/

Never mind, just realized the macOS disk is encrypted. So either pay for an updated license or possibly convert the image to be used by some free VM tool.
I don't know how to remove this thread...
