    Mine fails to connect. Suggests reinstalling which hasn't solved the problem.

    Same here. I already asked support. There will be a new version of parallels access with the official rollout of Sierra.
    I am now hoping to get a hands on a beta somehow or at least a workaround...

    Hey Guys,
    Parallels development team is looking to make the required tweaks to make Parallels Access compatible with mac OS Sierra. Stay tuned for more updates.

    I'm with him on that one! I'd love to be a part of a beta for Parallels Access! I used it daily up until the macOS beta invite showed up in my work inbox. I've been getting the same re-install prompt and it crashed the machine trying to quit Parallels Access the first time.

    Today my Mac connected to the Access Cloud upon startup.
    The app ran for about 5 min, then I got disconnected again.

    Neither did I change anything before, nor can I connect again...

    I have no idea why the following worked but I had the same problem described above and now Parallels Access is working for me with Sierra.

    First, I'm running Sierra on a 2011 iMac where I have Parallels 11 and Access installed. I also have a Windows 10 VM installed. Since installing Sierra, I've no longer been able to connect to my iMac from my iPad. I just want to be clear that I'm not talking about running Sierra in a Parallels VM or something else.

    Last night I installed OSX Yosemite in a Parallels VM on my iMac. Just the basic installation and I didn't install any other s/w. I did install Parallels tools for the new VM so maybe this is the trigger.

    I can now connect to my iMac again from my iPad just like before. I've tried it while being on the same wifi network, a different wifi network and over LTE. I didn't install the OSX VM for this purpose and only stumbled upon it working again by accident. Dunno. Maybe I just got lucky or maybe something about installing another VM or Parallels Tools did something. Anyhow, give it a try - can't hurt, right?

    Good luck.

    I tried to reproduce that workaround on my MacBook Pro.
    I had Parallels 11 already installed, an old Windows 10 VM, set up an additional OS X VM.

    After shutting down the VM and restarting my MacBook Parallels Access connected.
    But again, a few minutes later, it disconnected again and I cannot start the app any more...

    Hi MikeP4, while we do not have exact ETA at this point, we are planning to make sure Mac OS X Sierra works with Parallels Desktop 11 and Parallels Access shortly after the official Mac OS X Sierra release time.

    Parallels Desktop 11 is already working fine on 10.12 Sierra.
    It's just Parallels Access that is refusing to connect.

    Even the workaround installing a new VM in Parallels Desktop only helped on this for a few minutes...

    MikeP4, is your workaround still working in your Setup?
    Mine only kept Parallels Access running for a few minutes.

    Anyone tried to install the beta 2 and try to install the parallels access again and see whether it connects?

    I did the update yesterday, yet no change on parallels access. It's still not connecting, but at least the app stays active in the system bar...
