Hi everyone,

I'm running into a strange issue with Parallels Desktop 17 on my M1 MacBook (macOS 15.0.1).
My current version of Parallels is 17.1.7 (51588).

Here's the problem:
  • I can easily create a VM for Windows 11 without any issues.
  • However, when I try to create a VM for any Free Systems (e.g., Ubuntu, macOS, etc...), Parallels shows the error message: "To get the list of available systems, please connect your Mac to the internet."
  • The weird part is that my MacBook is connected to the internet, and I have no issues browsing or downloading files.

If anyone has encountered this or knows a fix, I'd really appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance!
 
Complete silence from the Parallels team, cool.
I have the same problem.
I can only assume it's because we run Parallels 17, and they want us to pay and upgrade.

Exact same issue here. Anyone have a resolution (besides upgrading :)

I haven't found anything, I switched to UTM.
If Parallels wants to value their customers, they will drop the one-time-buy product (since it doesn't work) and only have a subscription.
 
I ran into the same problem running parallels 17, and since i did buy the prepetual license i would still like to have features as when bought.
