# Creating a Configuration Profile

To create a configuration profile for enabling major version upgrades, do the following:

1. Begin creating a new configuration profile as described in the [**Creating a configuration profile**](/landing/pd-ag/parallels-desktop-for-mac-enterprise-edition-features/deprecated-using-configuration-profiles/creating-a-configuration-profile.md) section.
2. When you have the new configuration profile dialog open, select the **Product Updates** payload in the left pane.<br>

3. In the right pane, select the **Enable managing product updates** option. This will enable the payload, so when the configuration profile is sent to Mac computers, they will receive it.
4. To enable major version upgrades, select the **Allow upgrade to the major Parallels Desktop version** option.
5. Click **Save** to save the configuration profile.

The configuration profile now needs to be applied to a license or sublicense key. If you haven't done so already, use the instructions in the [**Applying a configuration profile to a license key**](/landing/pd-ag/parallels-desktop-for-mac-enterprise-edition-features/deprecated-using-configuration-profiles/applying-a-configuration-profile-to-a-license-key.md) section and apply the profile.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/pd-ag/parallels-desktop-for-mac-enterprise-edition-features/deprecated-using-configuration-profiles/enabling-major-version-upgrades/creating-a-configuration-profile.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
