already had product, but needed to renew, and this was cheaper than online renewal.
a physical product in my opinion should not be cheaper than digital.

Q.As expected, cheaper than the parallels online renewal
SKLoneWolfDiscontinued/Obsolete and shutting down notice coming by end of year, no updates in 18months

Parallels for ChromeOS makes it possible to run Windows apps on Chromebooks through a full virtual desktop.
No major updates have shipped to Parallels for ChromeOS in around 18 months, and the entire project is reportedly set to be discontinued.
Google purchased Cameyo recently, which makes it possible to run Windows apps on Chromebooks through Virtual App Delivery, which does not require a full virtual Windows desktop.
Parallels for ChromeOS appears to be on the way to the graveyard. A report by Chrome Unboxed claims that Parallels for ChromeOS will be shut down and that customers will receive official word before the end of the year. The source of that leak explained to Chrome Unboxed that Parallels for Chromebook has been largely neglected for quite some time.
There hasn't been a major update to Parallels for ChromeOS in around 18 months. Even that update was relatively small, as it focused on improving performance on budget-friendly Intel and AMD chipsets. Google and Parallels worked together to bring virtual Windows desktops to Chromebooks in 2020, but that experiment appears to be over.

However, this application has a number of popups (within the application itself) that market Corel and third party software (see attached image). There is also no way to turn these popups off (per their own KB article). It just feels invasive in addition to being highly annoying. I feel like if I am paying for an annual subscription, you could at least not annoy me with ads within your software platform. It really makes an otherwise ok product seem trashy. This is supposed to be a professional product - not a free online poker app.
