Desktop 20.2.0<\/strong>, the third major release in the Parallels Desktop 20 series\u2014all delivered in just four months!<\/p><p>At Parallels, we\u2019re committed to bringing you powerful, user-focused features designed to bring some value to your everyday work and play.<\/p><p>In this update, we\u2019re introducing innovations for every type of user, whether you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parallels.com\/products\/desktop\/\">run Windows apps on your Mac<\/a>, manage large-scale IT deployments, or dive deep into development and testing.<\/p><p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at what\u2019s new!<\/p><h2 id=\"h-new-improvements-for-pro-users-developers-testers-and-tech-enthusiasts\"><strong>New improvements for Pro users (developers, testers, and tech enthusiasts)<\/strong><\/h2><h3><strong>A milestone: introducing the early technology preview of x86 emulation<\/strong><\/h3><p>I\u2019m proud to share a significant milestone \u2014 starting with Parallels Desktop 20.2.0 you can use <strong>x86 emulation<\/strong> on Apple silicon Macs.<\/p><p>This functionality allows you to run some Intel-based (x86_64) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parallels.com\/glossary\/virtual-machine\/\">virtual machines (VMs) on Apple silicon Macs<\/a> via our proprietary emulation engine.<\/p><p>Since we first introduced Parallels Desktop 16.5 with support for Apple silicon Macs, the ability to run x86_64 virtual machines has been a limitation.<\/p><p>And today, after months of hard work, we\u2019re releasing this early technology preview for tech enthusiasts who want to explore its potential.<\/p><h3><strong>What does this functionality allow you to do?<\/strong><\/h3><p>We listened to your feedback \u2014 it\u2019s important to us!<\/p><p>Many users have reached out to us and requested the ability to run, develop, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parallels.com\/apps\/microsoft-office\/\">test 32-bit Windows apps in a native environment<\/a>.<\/p><p>Some of you also asked for the ability to run x86_64 Linux virtual machines as an alternative solution to <a href=\"https:\/\/download.parallels.com\/desktop\/v19\/docs\/en_US\/Parallels%20Desktop%20User's%20Guide\/49754.htm\">running Linux virtual machines through Rosetta<\/a>.<\/p><p>That is why you now can:<\/p><ul><li>Run existing x86_64 Windows 10, Windows 11*, Windows Server 2019\/2022, and some Linux distributives with UEFI BIOS via Parallels Emulator.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Create new Windows 10

emulation isn\u2019t supported currently due to the absence of SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) 4.2 support.<\/em><\/p><h3><strong>Are there any limitations?<\/strong><\/h3><p>Since the functionality is in the early technology preview stage, it has some significant limitations:<\/p><ul><li>Performance is slow\u2014really slow. Windows boot time is about 2-7 minutes, depending on your hardware. Windows operating system responsiveness is also low.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Only 64-bit operating systems are supported. But you can run 32-bit apps. Since there are millions of apps in the world, we couldn\u2019t test all of them. I invite you to give it a try and share your feedback with us.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>There is no support for USB devices which means you won\u2019t be able to connect external devices to your VM.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Parallels hypervisor can\u2019t be used. All VMs will be booted via the Apple hypervisor. Nested virtualization is not supported either.<\/li><\/ul><p>You can find more details about the functionality and its limitations in this <a href=\"https:\/\/kb.parallels.com\/130217\">article<\/a>.<\/p><p>Please note that we\u2019ve hidden the option to start a virtual machine in our UI to avoid false expectations for the majority of users who don\u2019t actually need it.<\/p><p>I know it\u2019s not a complete solution yet, but I wanted to give you a first look and invite you to <a href=\"https:\/\/forum.parallels.com\/threads\/early-technology-preview.365947\/\">share your feedback with us on our Forum<\/a> or through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parallels.com\/products\/desktop\/support\/\">Support<\/a>.<\/p><p>It\u2019s important for us to better understand your workflow and what we can do to enhance the feature for your needs.<\/p><h3><strong>Automatically sync time and time zone for macOS VMs on Apple silicon<\/strong><\/h3><p>We\u2019re making it easier to manage macOS virtual machines on Apple silicon Macs with the introduction of automatic time and time zone sync.<\/p><p>Why is this important?<\/p><p>Previously, when creating a new macOS VM on Apple silicon, users had to manually set the time and time zone, adding extra steps to the setup process.<\/p><p>Starting with Parallels Desktop 20.2, this sync happens automatically once you install Parallels Tools.<\/p><h2><strong>Significant improvements for IT admins and managers<\/strong><\/h2><h3><strong>Hybrid licensing and SSO support for Parallels Desktop Enterprise Edition<\/strong><\/h3><p>We made a promise\u2014and we kept it.<\/p><p>Parallels Desktop Enterprise Edition with the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parallels.com\/blogs\/management-portal\/\">Management Portal<\/a> that was recently released, and with it we\u2019re making license management smarter and more flexible.<\/p><p>Organizations that utilize a corporate identity provider (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, etc.) can use it to automate license management of Parallels Desktop licenses and enable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parallels.com\/blogs\/sso-capabilities\/\">single sign-on (SSO) capabilities<\/a>.<\/p><p>IT admins no longer need to manually disable unused licenses.<\/p><p>If an end-user is inactive and doesn\u2019t log in for a month, the license seat is automatically revoked from this user and made available for another user.<\/p><p>The same happens when a user leaves the organization.<\/p><p>The activation process is super simple. Your end users just need to enter their corporate email and voila\u2014the product is activated.<\/p><p>You can also link groups in your identity provider to sublicenses in Parallels My Account to get more visibility over the license keys.<\/p><p>But that\u2019s not everything I wanted to share.<\/p><p>With this update, IT admins and managers have greater flexibility in managing the license keys.<\/p><p>They can allow one group of users to sign in through SSO while enabling other groups to activate Parallels Desktop using a license key.<\/p><p>More details can be found in the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.parallels.com\/parallels-desktop-enterprise-administrators-guide\/\">Parallels Desktop Enterprise Edition Guide<\/a>.<\/p><h2><strong>Simplified deployment: Introducing support for Configuration profiles<\/strong><\/h2><h3><strong>How is this support helpful for new deployments?<\/strong><\/h3><p>As of now, you can easily deploy the Parallels Desktop application from the MDM App Catalogs and deliver information about the Parallels Desktop activation experience with the help of configuration profiles.<\/p><p>Configuration profiles can be created right from the iMazing Profile Editor app.<\/p><p>Simply choose how end users will activate\u2014with a license key or via SSO.<\/p><p>Once the profile is created, push it to the end users\u2019 Macs and Parallels Desktop will apply this configuration the next time they start up.<\/p><p>Delivering Parallels Desktop settings can be done through the Parallels Desktop Management Portal (available in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parallels.com\/products\/desktop\/enterprise\/\">Parallels Desktop Enterprise Edition<\/a>).<\/p><p>The option to deploy the Parallels Desktop application, virtual machines, licensing information, and the settings using the deployment package is still available.<\/p><h3><strong>How can it be helpful for existing installations?<\/strong><\/h3><p>In response to the request from IT administrators, the Parallels Team has implemented support for managing the activation experience on managed Macs.<\/p><p>Once the configuration profile is deployed to the target Macs, if an end user tries to activate the Mac using a different key, Parallels Desktop will automatically reactivate with the key defined in the configuration profile.<\/p><p>It will also prompt the user to sign in with SSO based on the selected activation method.\u202fAs a result, IT admins can ensure the end users get the proper experience and don\u2019t face any challenges with activating Parallels Desktop, even if the product is uninstalled and reinstalled later.<\/p><p>I\u2019m excited to share that Parallels Desktop is the first end-point virtualization solution that offers this kind of functionality.<\/p><h2><strong>Improvements for Windows app users<\/strong><\/h2><h3><strong>Writing Tools for Windows apps: Enhanced usability<\/strong><\/h3><p>We\u2019ve made it even easier to use Writing Tools powered by Apple Intelligence with your favorite Windows apps.
