Using Parallels on an additional mac with windows 10

[DeanC5]

Hi

I currently use parallels v11 on my mac laptop running windows 10 virtual machine.
If I want to use the same virtual machine (i.e. make a backup) on my iMac what do i need to do?

Do I need to buy another licence for parallels for my iMac?
Do I need to buy another copy of windows or can i just back up the VM from the laptop and reinstall on the iMac?

thanks

Dean

Hi DeanC5, you need to purchase a second license of Parallels Desktop for Mac for your iMac as one copy of Parallels Desktop for Mac can be used on a single Mac machine.

Do I need to buy another copy of windows or can i just back up the VM from the laptop and reinstall on the iMac?

You can use the same copy of Windows virtual machine on your second Mac. Follow the steps mentioned in this article.
