on my High Sierra 10.13.6 it crash every time I start a virtual machine…
It does’t work
August 18, 2020 1:37 pm
it doesnt work
it crash

Does it crash when to try to install it?
If so, try this method:
Once the disc image is opened, press Command+Shift+. (dot sign) keys. All invisible files will become visible.
Inside the disc image you will see the Parallels Desktop app (if not, just stretch the window).
Copy this app into the wherever you want, but if you have installed an older version of Parallels, don’t replace it yet.
This app is still flagged as “invisible”, then we need to change this attribute:
Open Terminal and write
chflags nohidden
leaving a blank space, drag the Parallels Desktop app over the Terminal window, then hit Enter.
The app should be now flagged as visible again – just try to press the Command+Shift+. keys again to see if the app remains visible as well – If not, repeat the command in Terminal.
Run Parallels. In the case the app will not open yet, then write this command on Terminal:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine
again, leaving a blank space, drag the Parallels Desktop app over the Terminal window, then hit Enter.
Now you can run Paralles smoothly, and you can drag the app on the Application folder, eventually replacing the older one.

works perfectly with this method
Thank you

You are welcome.
I’m glad to help whenever I can, and please forgive me for my non-perfect English.
August 20, 2020 11:00 am
Thank you, Alex! Finally a working method for installation
August 20, 2020 3:56 pm
You’re welcome.

@Alex
How can the “The copy of Parallels Desktop may not be genuine …” be blocked or eliminated?
August 20, 2020 8:45 pm
@UK user
I’m sorry, this is something out of my reach.
My knowledge on patching apps is about zero.
However, I guess the message cannot be removed at all. Perhaps Parallels checks itself online if its activation key is valid, and when it find no match, then it displays this message.
Maybe someone else can bring a better answer or let us know if there’s a method to remove that message once and for all.

app is invinsible again despite the steps, any suggestions?
August 28, 2020 6:25 am
1.— Open Terminal
2a.— If your copy of Parallels Deskop is located in the Applications folder:
chflags nohidden /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app
3a.— Enter
2b.— If If your copy of Parallels Deskop is located elsewhere:
chflags nohidden /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/[YOU]/[ELSEWHERE]/Parallels\ Desktop.app
Replace [YOU[ with your account name, and [ELSEWHERE] with the path or folder (I suggest to place Parallels Desktop on the Desktop).
3b.— Enter

I need some help Alex, I keep getting a permission denied when I try to make it visible from your commands.
zsh: permission denied: /Users/Tomas/Desktop/Test/Parallels Desktop.app
September 18, 2020 1:25 am
Alex I need some help, I get this:
zsh: permission denied: /Users/kurisu/Desktop/Test/Parallels Desktop.app
How do I get permission, I’m the admin on macOS ?

Does it work – DELETE
August 18, 2020 3:09 pm
Can y’all posting it doesn’t work indicate your OS version? First post there says it’s not working on High Sierra, which is an old OS, suggesting older hardware.
That said, the Parallels stated system requirements (below) do include High Sierra. I’m still curious.
Hardware
A Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, Core i9, Intel Core M or Xeon processor
Minimum 4 GB of memory, 16 GB is recommended
500 MB for Parallels Desktop application installation
Additional disk space for the guest operating system (at least 16 GB is required for Windows 10)
SSD drive is recommended for better performance
Internet connection for product activation and select features
Software
macOS Big Sur 11.0 (when released)
macOS Catalina 10.15
macOS Mojave 10.14
macOS High Sierra 10.13
DirectX 11 requires at least macOS Mojave 10.14, but works best on macOS 10.15.3 Catalina or newer.
August 18, 2020 3:39 pm
Further to my earlier post, I’ve installed this and it’s up-and-running my Windows VM no problem. I’ve got Catalina on a Late 2013 rMBP.
I’ll report back if I run into the “may not be genuine” nag, or any other license problems, but so far so good.
August 18, 2020 7:07 pm
works on Big Sur with network error
August 19, 2020 2:09 pm
YES similar problem. please solve this issue please.
August 20, 2020 1:28 pm
Adjust it manually on the Paralells settings and it will work. Choose the network adapter
August 21, 2020 3:52 pm
@cohen
explain a little bit bro. no other available adapter to choose from. only ethernet. How?
August 22, 2020 5:25 am
me too, the same problem.
August 19, 2020 10:14 am
does anyone have a problem installing this version on big sur after pressing install it says files installing then disappears nothing else happens until it says parallels app is damaged
August 19, 2020 10:15 am
Does anyone have broken networking on Parallels VM guests?
August 22, 2020 5:26 am
me. I have the same network problem.
August 19, 2020 10:16 am
It crash
August 19, 2020 11:42 am
it crash on my high sierra 10.13.6
while version 15 worked well..
June 14, 2021 2:05 am
I use macbook pro retina(15inch mid 2015) high sierra 10.13.6
I don’t have any problem and parallels 13, 14, 15, 16 every version work completely
My friend also use same mac and OS. He also work well
August 19, 2020 1:46 pm
Crashes on latest version of Catalina.
Not going to go through all the BS that Chris and Alex tells you to to install this!
August 19, 2020 2:13 pm
network error on mac big sur.
August 22, 2020 5:27 am
the sme problem.
August 19, 2020 7:11 pm
@Aaron There’s no BS I’m saying anyone needs to do to install.
It simply installs and works as intended with my Windows 7 VM on my late 2013 rMBP (2.6ghz i5 w 8GB) w/ Catalina 10.15.5. If you want to try it, and it works for you too, great. Otherwise you can just roll back to whatever version you were using previously.
Clearly some people are having problems. It would be helpful if people would post as much detail about the setup they’re having trouble with, to help guide others. What specs on your Mac, what “latest” version of Catalina are you on, and what OS VM are you trying to run?
Good luck!
August 20, 2020 8:52 pm
You are right Chris.
I wasn’t thinking about telling that I installed Parallels using the method I wrote here on macOS Catalina 10.15.6, and it works perfectly.
August 20, 2020 3:46 pm
@Chris
While the install works, I tried your instruction for Terminal:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine
and the “This copy of Parallels Desktop may not be genuine. ….” did not pop up all night yesterday.
Unfortunately, this “Get Genuine Copy” pop up is on again this morning. As I am typing this. I am running Windows 10 Pro for Workstations with all the latest updates. Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6
Do you have another suggestion to rid this pop-up? Thanks
August 20, 2020 3:53 pm
@Chris
Any other way to rid the “Get Genuine Copy” pop up?
Thanks

network dosn’t work. can’t acess the network
August 23, 2020 4:37 am
MacMini late 2014 on Catalina. I’ve made a clean fresh install with no problems at all here. (I had a previous version before, but completely uninstalled and deleted all files).
Didn’t need to use any of the tricks listed on other comments. Parallels and Parallel Tools were installed very easily.
TIP: I always right click + open / and turn Wi-Fi off when I install this kind of stuff (not sure if this will help anyone).
August 26, 2020 6:38 am
same with network problem…
August 29, 2020 7:54 pm
Worked on Catalina newest Version . Thanx
August 31, 2020 1:48 am
The parallel works fine on the latest Catalina for me. Thanks. But the Toolbox gets expires after each time restarting my machine. Need to set it up again. Any advice, please?
September 6, 2020 1:24 am
The internet doesn’t work, it keeps saying network initiation failed, otherwise perfect.
September 7, 2020 4:45 pm
alguien le dice que debe reiniciar y lo haces y no se instala
September 11, 2020 9:26 pm
Same with network problem! Host on MacOs Big Sur 11.0 Beta (20A5364e).
September 16, 2020 3:04 pm
alguien arreglo lo de la red
September 19, 2020 12:36 pm
Hi everyone,
I had Parallels 15 and each time I used it was fine. This version keeps asking me to sign in.
How do I bypass it?
Let me know!
November 16, 2020 8:05 pm
Can’t unhide the .app. Tried chflags -R nohidden path/to/file as well but nothing works.
Catalina 10.15.6
