What you get as a Parallels Desktop partner
For more than 20 years, Parallels has worked in virtualization and cross-platform computing, helping organizations use the applications and operating systems their work depends on. Today, Parallels Desktop serves more than 3 million customers worldwide. As a Parallels Desktop partner, you can help customers run the Windows applications and workflows they need on Mac. That might mean license management for a smaller team or centralized deployment, security, and control for a large organization.

A dedicated program for Parallels Desktop partners
Mac adoption doesn't always mean leaving Windows behind. Many organizations still rely on Windows applications, development tools, or established workflows.
Parallels Desktop lets customers run those Windows applications on Mac without maintaining separate Windows hardware. For partners, that means a practical way to support Mac adoption and solve a problem customers are already facing.
The program has two participation levels: Authorized for partners developing their Parallels Desktop business and Premier for partners with an established practice.
Find the right program level
