Unable to connect to Parallels Desktop

The firewall is not an issue for me - my firewall is set to allow all incoming connections . I have also verified that prl_disp_service is running. NR

Please do the same things: post here output of commands:

sudo netstat -lan | grep LISTEN
sudo lsof -c prl_disp_service
sudo ipfw list
 
sh-3.2# netstat -lan | grep LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 *.111 *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 *.64000 *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 *.26184 *.* LISTEN

sh-3.2# ipfw list

sudo lsof -c prl_disp_service still gives me nothing. Have restarted and tried
sudo launchctl start com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon

Here are the other commands though...

something wrong with dispatcher. Please attach log file /Library/Logs/parallels.log

Hmm, very strange. Could you please to do follow:

1. Stop dispatcher service with command:

sudo launchctl stop com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon

Please wait until service finish it work (use for example "ps aux -c | grep prl_disp" command to poll it)

2. Go to firewall settings and switch it into "Set access for specific services and applications" mode
3. Start dispatcher with command:

sudo launchctl start com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon

and wait until it start (if during service start some questions from firewall appear please allow there incoming connections for prl_disp_service)
4. Start Parallels Desktop (allow it connections too if firewall'll ask)
 
mine says something about the license not being valid. but i was never asked for a serial number

Bad news :( Seems dispatcher crashing on your host by some reasons. We need crash log of this crash in order to understand where problem is. You can find it at /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/. It will start with prl_disp_service*. I think it would be better to create ticket at our support system (http://support.parallels.com) to continue working with this problem in order to prevent publication of your private host data on public forum.
 
nope, never has. Or can you tell me where i can enter my serial number manually? the only thing i get is the error message. click ok and parallel desktop ends itself.

error message about couldn't to connect to dispatcher or about license? Wrong license shouldn't block application start.
 
OK thanks. I have submitted the support request. It says "Our support team will contact you on the problem within 3 business days". So I guess I'll have to wait...

Please post here ticket id and i'll get it to my self - so continue work with it right now.
 
the error message you see in the 2nd post is the only thing i get. no gui whatsoever. the thing about the license is only written in the log i posted

No, license isn't problem here - please ignore. As i right understood firewall didn't ask any questions on dispatcher/GUI start? Then could you please add these applications manually at firewall settings and try to start Parallels Desktop again.
 
hm how is that going to help when the firewall lets everything through in the current mode.
but ok i'll give it a shot

Actually i do not see any reasons which can prevent Parallels Desktop start. Seems all fine: dispatcher starting, listening but something still wrong. So i trying to find where problem is and provide you so strange scenarios, sorry.
