What will be Deprecated or Removed from Parallels Desktop soon
According to statistics from users who participate in the Parallels Customer Experience program, some product features are rarely used or not at all. We have decided to either stop supporting them or altogether remove them from Parallels Desktop and focus on frequently used features and further enhancements.
Below is a list of features that are no longer supported in Parallels Desktop 20.3.0 and newer versions and have been removed:
- Reverse time sync from a virtual machine to the host Mac's macOS.
Below is the list of features that are no longer supported and will be removed - not in version 20.3.0, but in the next major version of Parallels Desktop for Mac:
- Shared Bluetooth functionality. Bluetooth devices connected to your Mac will continue to work in the virtual machines normally.
- USB and network kexts (kernel extensions). This deprecation affects virtual machines that run on Intel Macs using Parallels hypervisor; such virtual machines will continue to support USB and network adapters in kextless mode.
- Installing Parallels Desktop on Macs running macOS Monterey 12.
- Archiving a virtual machine. Prepare for Transfer will be the new default method to save space and transfer a virtual machine.
- Setting CPU, disk I/O, and network quotas and extended memory limits manually.
- Deferred activation.
- Travel mode.
- Free Up Disk Space menu option. You will still be able to save space using other options.
- Designating a custom update server in the deployment package settings.
- Synchronization of virtual machine color tags between the Parallels Desktop Control Center and macOS Finder.
- Support for "Require Password to..." settings in the Security tab of the virtual machine settings. We recommend organizations that rely on this functionality to use the Policies menu in the Parallels Management Portal available in Parallels Desktop for Mac Enterprise Edition.
- Converting/cloning to a template. We recommend using the "Clone" menu option.
- The option to install Parallels Toolbox for Windows in a Windows virtual machine using the Parallels Desktop menu.
