Hello,
I'm wondering if it's possible to install Parallels Pro Edition on two computers using a single license? With Adobe Premiere Pro, you can install it on two computers using the same license, but you can only use one at a time. I'm curious if the same can be done with Parallels Pro Edition?

Ok, I have an older version of Parallels Desktop 8. Can I upgrade it to Parallels 19 Pro? Which type of Parallels 19 works best for gaming? 'Standard' or 'Pro'? I have Sonoma in my computer.
 
Hello.

Yes, you can make use of an older key to purchase an upgrade. As for the which version would be best for gaming, it's difficult to state in advance, as it's two-fold.
On one hand Pro allows for more Mac resources to be assigned to the virtual machine, which definitely helps with performance, you can check the details in the following article: https://kb.parallels.com/123296
But on the other, depending on a game, it's possible to run into general issues such as emulation(in case Mac host is Apple Silicon powered) or renderer support, such as DirectX 12.

General advice would be to make a selection based off specific games system requirements, and if they fit, try running them, or perhaps some feedback for specific titles is already available on the forum.
Should you run into any issues, don't hesitate to contact us.
