Updating Parallels Desktop

Parallels Desktop includes an updating feature that helps you keep your Parallels Desktop installation up-to-date. You can use the update feature only if your computer is connected to the Internet.

Update checks can be performed either automatically or manually.

• We recommend that you turn on automatic updating to be notified when an update is available. Parallels Desktop will regularly check for updates available and inform you about them.
• In addition to automatic updating, you can start the updating manually at any time.

Note: Before updating, you will be asked to quit Parallels Desktop. If you have any virtual machines running or paused, suspend or shut them down. When you start or resume your virtual machines after the update, reinstall Parallels Tools.
