Parallels Desktop License Renewal

A Parallels Desktop Enterprise Edition license is renewed automatically via the Internet. When Parallels Desktop is running on a Mac, it sends a license renewal request to the Parallels Key Administrator server at random intervals. Once a license update is available, it is automatically downloaded and installed.

Parallels Desktop uses port 443 (the standard SSL port) to communicate with the Parallels Key Administrator server from which it obtains license updates. If you are not using the most recent version of Parallels Desktop, please read the Note section below for additional information.

Note

Port 443 is used for license renewal by Parallels Desktop 8 build 8.0.18345.820589 and newer. Older versions of Parallels Desktop use a non-standard port 5224.
