Licensing

The Licensing category allows you to manage your Parallels RAS license. When you click on the Licensing category, the License Details tab displays the following information:

• License Type: The type of your Parallels RAS license (e.g. subscription, trial, etc.).
• Expiration Date: Your license expiration date (or the number of days remaining).
• Maximum allowed concurrent users: The maximum number of concurrent users that your license allows. For example, if your own a Parallels RAS subscription and need more concurrent connections, you need to upgrade your subscription.
• Peak Users: Your peak concurrent users to date. You can use this value to evaluate whether you might need to upgrade your subscription to include more concurrent users.
• Current Users: The number of users currently connected to your Parallels RAS Farm.

Please note that you can also see these values (and more) in your Parallels Account. For more information, please read the Parallels RAS Licensing Guide, which is available on the Parallels website.

The View Active Users button opens a dialog where you can view currently active users and license usage. Use the toolbar buttons to refresh the list and to copy the information to the clipboard.

The Manage license button allows you to switch to a different Parallels account and to activate Parallels RAS using a different license key. Click the button to open the Sign in to Parallels My Account dialog. Use the dialog to sign in using an existing account or click Register to create a new account. If you are creating a new account, you'll also have to register a Parallels RAS license key in it and activate your Parallels RAS Farm using that key (see below).

To activate Parallels RAS using a different license key:

1. In the Sign In to Parallels My Account dialog, type the email address and password you used to register your account and click Sign In. You'll see the Activate Product dialog.
2. Select the Activate using license key option and enter the key in the field provided. You can click the button next to the field to see the list of subscriptions and/or permanent license keys you have registered with Parallels My Account. If the list is empty, it means that you don't have a subscription yet and need to purchase one first.
3. To purchase a subscription online, click the Purchase a license link.
4. After entering a license key, click Activate. You should see the confirmation message that your Parallels RAS was activated successfully.
