Pro edition vs. trial version- what becomes available after you pay

[GjorgiV]

I am running the trial version of Parallels Desktop Pro and am on the fence about getting the paid version.
Once you pay, what additional features become available?

Hi GjorgiV,

There is no difference in features, when you use a trial version you will be getting all the features but when you buy Parallels Desktop Pro Edition you will be getting 1 year free subscription for Parallels Access in addition.

Thanks,

Interesting. How do you then get to features like Docker, Jenkins, complex networking scenarios when all you have as network modes are Shared, host-Only and Bridged? These are claimed to be features of Pro on the website.

Hello GjorgiV,

Check this blog to more about Pro Edition. If you wish to access advanced network settings open Parallels Desktop menu from Mac menu bar then select Preferences and go to Networking tab.

Thanks,
Ajith M.

Thank you for the hint on Preferences > Network. The blog however is a dishonest marketing release, it doesn't seem like the author wrote from experience.
