Hello rosew. If your query is about transferring your Parallels Desktop license and the virtual machine to another Mac, then follow these steps:
1.) Shut the virtual machine down (as opposed to simply suspending it; see here for details) on the old Mac.
2.) Locate the virtual machine file on the old Mac (it is a file with the extension '.pvm').
3.) Make a copy of this file and move the copy to an external storage with a Mac-compatible file system [e.g., exFAT, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) etc.,].
4.) Install Parallels Desktop on the new Mac.
5.) Move the .pvm file copy from the external hard drive to the new Mac, place it under Macintosh HD/Users/(username)/Parallels, double-click on it and run it [select 'Moved' (or 'Use Current') when asked to choose between 'Moved' and 'Copied' (or 'Use Current' and 'Create New')].
