Parallels Trial FIX / Reset
Raw
parallels_trial_fix.sh
### DISCLAIMER: This code will delete all personal files regarding
###. your Parallels 17 installation and should fix any of the common
###. trial period bugs once you reinstall.
###. I created this for personal use but found there were so many
###. with a similar bug that I decided to share it.
### If you are actively using Parallels for longer than the trial
### period or using it for commercial purposes, you MUST register
### it or it is considered software piracy.
