Parallels for Lion on Mac Pro 1.1

As I could not use the support tool provided on the website due to the problem explained below (you need a key for support, but I can`t get a key), I`ll give it a try here. Apologizes if it seems of topic or wrong thread, please let me know the right place to ask this question.

L.S.,

My mac is an older model Pro 1.1. It has been upgraded over time with extra ram, more diskcapacity, etc, etc. It still works very well under Lion, and upgrading to Mountain Lion is not possible. Sometimes I need Windows and on that occasion I just use my machine at work which has parallels installed. For me, it`s a good solution: the alternative is Bootcamp but that is to complicated/demanding/risky on my own machine. I`ve downloaded your version 9 but when I try to get a trial key it gives an error (see attach). Maybe someone can help? If it works, I`m considering buying parallels.
Kind regards,

ps. I`ve an open and working internetconnection, turned all adblockers and antivirus and the like off but to no avail.

 

You can get a trial version of only the latest version of Parallels Desktop (i.e) Parallels Desktop 11. It is because Parallels Online Store only offers the latest version of Parallels Desktop. Thus, if you would like to buy any of the previous versions, please check if it is offered by your local resellers or authorized online resellers like Apple, Amazon etc.

 

Thanks. For some particular reason, I cannot buy it from Amazon (Germany, France, USA (off topic: giant differences in prices....)). Apple doesn`t sell older versions. As for now I understand that version 6, 7 or 8 should be stable with OS Lion. Are these still for sale @ Parallels?

 

If you are using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later your Mac is compatible with Parallels Desktop 8/9/10, please refer to
Parallels Desktop and Mac OS (Host) compatibility As a general availability of Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac Parallels stopped selling previous versions, if you would like to buy any of the previous versions, please check if it is offered by your local re sellers or authorized online re sellers like Apple, Amazon etc.
