How to Trial Enterprise Edition with Existing Business Edition Per-user License

If you have an existing Parallels Desktop for Mac Business Edition setup where end-users activate their copies of Parallels Desktop using Single Sign-On (SSO), you can trial the same setup on the Enterprise Edition concurrently. You will have to take the following steps:

1. Contact your sales representative using Parallels My Account and request a trial license key;

2. Register the received key in My Account;

3. On the side of your organization's identity provider (IdP), register a new group and include in it trial users;

   1. If your IdP supports group hierarchy, make sure the trial group is a child of the main Parallels Desktop user group mapped in My Account as part of the integration (i.e., your mapping should be Parallels Desktop app registered with your IdP <- Parallels Desktop users group <- Enterprise Edition trial users group) and add the Enterprise Edition trial users to it;

   2. Otherwise, make sure to include those users in the main Parallels Desktop users group as well (i.e., your mapping should be Parallels Desktop app registered with your IdP <- Parallels Desktop users group AND Parallels Desktop app registered with your IdP <- Enterprise Edition trial group), make sure to include trial users in both user groups;

4. Make sure the end users with trial accounts have activated their copies via SSO;

5. Explore the Parallels Management Portal capabilities.
