Deploying Parallels Desktop for Mac Business Edition

This chapter describes how to deploy Parallels Desktop Business Edition to Mac computers in your organization. The deployment can be performed using one of the following methods:

• Using an invitation email. This is a simple and straightforward method. You send an invitation email to your users from your Parallels business account and they perform the installation themselves. It's a good choice if you don't need to deploy a virtual machine together with Parallels Desktop and don't need any special customizations.
• Using the deployment package. This is a highly customizable deployment method that gives you access to many advanced options which you can configure according to your needs. You should use this option if you want to deploy one or more preconfigured virtual machines together with Parallels Desktop and if you want to customize the deployment parameters and Parallels Desktop settings.  

The subsequent sections describes each method in detail.
