    Article 114118 describes how to move a virtual machine to a new Mac (machine).
    However, does this also imply the transfer of *all* licences?
    Some licences may be machine depended (or are these only virtual machine depended)

    Are you asking about the Parallels Desktop license or licenses used inside the virtual machine?

    Thank you for your response. A was unclear, sorry.
    I meant the licences used inside a virtual machine.

    Yes, or inside virtual machine another. E.g. Ubuntu.

    Yes, all your licenses will be transferred but when you open the pvm file for the first time on your new Mac you will get a message to choose if the VM is copied or moved. You have to select the option moved if you select copied then the application inside the VM might request you to reactivate them.

    Dear Ajith Mamolin,
    Thank you very much, that's great and just the guarantee I needed.
    As a suggestion: Is possible to add something like that to Article 114118.
    Best regards,
    Jan
