Parallels Desktop Pro Edition is an advanced virtualization solution designed specifically for developers, content creators and power users who demand maximum performance when running Windows on the macOS platform. The software allows applications from different operating systems to run simultaneously. The solution is fully optimized for both Apple Silicon chips and Intel processors and provides an environment to test, develop and run demanding applications.


The software offers a comprehensive set of features for an efficient development cycle, including the ability to work in a Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code environment. Users can test applications across Windows, Linux and virtual macOS and enjoy workflow automation with command line integration with Packer, Vagrant and Jenkins. Included is the ability to run Intel binaries in Linux on Macs with Apple Silicon chips, including x86 Docker containers. There is also a plugin for managing virtual machines directly from the IDE, support for SSH sessions, software debugging and memory dump generation.

Parallels Desktop Pro Edition is optimized to run graphics- and compute-intensive applications such as AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, and ArcGIS Pro directly on Mac devices. Virtual machines can be assigned up to 128 GB of vRAM and 32 vCPUs, which ensures stable performance even for the most demanding tasks. Headless mode allows virtual machines to run in the background without a GUI, saving system resources. The software includes advanced network management with port forwarding and enhanced control over mailbox sharing between host and virtual systems.
