In large organizations with multiple Macs, there may be groups of Parallels Desktop users with very different needs in terms of capabilities and restrictions, from a software engineer who develops for multiple platforms and needs a dozen virtual machines to test every possible scenario to a back-office staff who would benefit the most from Single Application Mode.
The best way to maintain flexible arrangements is by creating user groups, each of which would require a sublicense. To create a user group, follow these steps:
Attention: Your primary license key cannot be used to create a user group. All user groups require secondary license keys, as described below.
For security reasons, we strongly advise against using your primary key directly. Any compromised secondary keys can be deleted and replaced with new ones.
Go to your My Account customer area and select Dashboard in the top-right corner;
In your Parallels Desktop Enterprise Edition card, click on the Subscription Renewal line;
Scroll down to the License Keys card and click Create License Key in its top-right corner;
Click on the key name at the top and change it to reflect the name of the group;
Assign a maximum number of Parallels Desktop installations available with this license key, select the key type, and click Save.
