Single Application Mode

Single Application Mode is a special Parallels Desktop deployment option that allows you to completely hide Parallels Desktop and Windows on a Mac and make a Windows application appear like it's a native macOS app. This mode is designed for system administrators who want Mac users in their organization to run one or more Windows applications without being aware of Parallels Desktop or Windows running in a virtual machine.

To make Parallels Desktop run in Single Application Mode, you need to deploy it on Mac computers via the autodeploy package. This includes preparing the autodeploy package in a special way and then either deploying it on Mac computers using Mac management tools or running it manually on a Mac.

For more information about how to use the autodeploy package and how to deploy Parallels Desktop in Single Application Mode, please see the following sections of this guide:
