Before we continue,

1. You can get it even cheaper if you have .edu email access (I do not. Feel free to DM me if you know of a working way. Thanks).
2. To get the 25% code, you will need to wait around for 9-10 days without using Parallels - it comes from feedback survey.
3. Region is selectable at the very bottom of the Parallels website to force AUD.
4. You need to stack with CashRewards to get it all the way down to $121.64 effective cost.

Step 1. Download Parallels, register an account and use it until the trial is up.
Step 2. Wait 9-10 days without using Parallels.
Step 3. Parallels will email you a feedback survey. I ticked the box, I couldn't justify the cost.
Step 4. Parallels will email you a 25% discount voucher. Got mine within half an hour.
Step 5. Use CashRewards to activate 10.5% cashback (on the pre-GST price?), buy the product you want (In my case, Parallels 19 1-Time Purchase), and then use the code issued in Step 4, and pay $134.25AUD.
Step 6. CashRewards rewarded $12.61.

FYI, the cashbacks on CashRewards are:
Toolbox Packs 10.5%
Parallels Desktop Full License 10.5%
Parallels Access 7%
Student Edition 7%
Toolbox for Windows & Mac 7%
You can presume these to be off the pre-GST price.

This could be the cheapest way to get Parallels 19 1-Time Licence, especially when converted back to the USD pricing (77.20 vs 129. That's ~40% off!)

Title price adjusted. Title price should not include cashback amount — Mod

  VMWare Fusion is free. Runs Debian Arm64 fine for me. Can't comment on Windows.

    Once the 2023 tech preview become release, the VMTools for ARM will become a complete solution with 3D acceleration.

    Should achieve 80% of performance and features of PD for free for personal use.

      I'm running the preview on my M2 Max at the moment.
      Fine for anything non-GPU related, but pretty constant crashes when trying to do anything 3D-wise.
      I ran Parallels for a little while beforehand and it was night and day different in that regard.
      Ended up sticking with VMware's solution, but you can tell the difference.
      I tried UTM for around a week or so before I gave up on that.

        Having similar experience as you do. I'm hoping the release version would make a difference. Not really using Windows on ARM VM mission critically anyway…

          @xmagic: Hoping vmware fixes the full screen resolution to match the external monitor resolution. Currently seeing black bars on the side in full screen on 34" monitor.

  How much cheaper for edu?

  • 

    Smigit on 05/10/2023 - 18:56

    $69 for standard, $84.50 for pro. Both are 1 year subscriptions and not the one time purchase option which I’m not sure is available to students any more.

  Parallels gone downhill after limiting the vCPU and MEM for a VM on the non subscription license.

  I just cant bring myself to upgrade my parallels 17 yet for my mbp 14 m1 pro. It feels like the upgrades are marginal at best for my limifed use case of playing old games…

  And i heard cs2 runs poorly on a m2 pro based machine in parallels.
