Hello!
I faced the problem trying to run more than 2 MacOS 12.0 Monterey simultaneously on Mac Mini M1.
Once i tried to run the third VM, an error alert with the following description appeared:
Cannot start this virtual machine.
A software update is required to complete this installation. The maximum supported number of active virtual machines has been reached.

However, i have the latest MacOS 12.0.1 Monterey as a host and the latest Parallels 17.1.0 (51516). As for license, i use Business Edition for Mac.
Is this a problem of Hypervisor or some kind of system restriction?

Technically you might be able to run more than two Mac VMs on your Intel Mac - but your macOS license does not allow this. Just read (again?) the license you agreed to when you installed the last time ;)
