Getting the "Virtual machine cannot be started" and the solution in the knowledge base is unhelpful with info about limitations on licensing, installation only on server, etc. ML license allows 2 copies to be run in a virtual environment. This is with the trial version of Parallels Desktop, if that matters.

My Mac is a Mid 2011 iMac with Mountain Lion 10.8.2. It is a server, version Version 2.1.0 (127.18) of server (server on Mountain Lion is simply an app, not a separate OS install). I would like to compare Parallels Desktop with VMWare Fusion...I was able to set up VM's with VMWare, no such luck with Parallels. Is there some trick I am missing?
 
I have a recent MacBook Pro Retina with OS X Mountain Lion pre-installed. I spent the last two weeks comparing VMware Fusion 5 and Parallels Desktop 8, creating various VMs for OS X, Windows XP, 7, Linux, and migrating a PC. No problem with OS X, just don't forget to install the tools manually if they are not. If not installed, you can resize only in diagonal.
