Designed for developers, testers, and experienced power users, this software download of the volume license of Parallels Desktop 15 Pro includes a 1-year license and is tailored for those who need performance and functionality for running non-Mac applications on a Mac. It is optimized for macOS Catalina (10.15), but also works with macOS Mojave and supports a variety of operating systems, including Windows 10, Ubuntu and other Linux distributions, as well as older versions of Windows and macOS.
Parallels Desktop 15 Pro lets users easily switch between Mac and Windows applications, launch Windows applications from the Mac dock, and use Mac gestures in Windows. Use the Touch Bar with Windows applications, as well as copy and paste or drag and drop between Windows and Mac. Run Windows applications inside a virtual machine, or develop and test your app or website across dozens of different operating systems, and troubleshoot using Microsoft’s Visual Studio plug-in or network simulator. You can also enjoy nested virtualization and guest OS debugging, plus use Vagrant, Jenkins, or other development tools of your trade.
The Installation Assistant helps optimizes your virtual machine settings and performance for your primary usage scenario, such as productivity, design, development, testing, or gaming. Allocate up to 32 virtual CPUs and 128GB of virtual memory per virtual machine. 24/7 premium support is included, as is Parallels Toolbox, with over 30 utilities to help simplify everyday tasks, such as cleaning your drive, securing private files, taking screenshots, or downloading videos, all with a single click.
