Parallels Time Trial Reset

Here is a solution to reset the time trial.

NOTE:  If you have perviously altered your hosts file to block parallels activation, you must unblock the urls for this to work.

1. Open textedit (or whatever plain text editor you use) and paste the contents below:

#!/bin/bash

rm -rfd ~/library/preferences/com.parallels*
rm -rfd ~/library/preferences/parallels/*
rm -rfd ~/library/preferences/parallels
rm -rfd /private/var/db/parallels/stats/*
rm -rfd /private/var/db/parallels/stats
rm -rfd /private/var/db/parallels
rm -rfd /library/logs/parallels.log
rm -rfd /library/preferences/parallels/*
rm -rfd /library/preferences/parallels
rm -rfd /private/var/db/parallels
rm -rfd /private/var/.parallels_swap
rm -rfd /private/var/db/receipts/'com.parallels*'
rm -rfd /private/tmp/qtsingleapp-*-lockfile
rm -rfd /private/tmp/com.apple.installer*/*
rm -rfd /private/tmp/com.apple.installer*
rm -rfd /private/var/root/library/preferences/com.parallels.desktop.plist
rm -fr ~/Library/Logs/parallels.log
rm -fr /Library/Preferences/Parallels/
rm -fr ~/Library/Preferences/Parallels
rm -fr /private/var/.Parallels_swap
rm -fr /private/var/db/Parallels/Stats
rm -fr /private/tmp/qtsingleapp-Parall-c0ce-0-lockfile
rm -fr ~/Library/Preferences/com.parallels


2. Save the file to your desktop as TrialReset.sh (the .sh is important!).
3. Make sure parallels is closed.
4. Open terminal and execute:
       sudo sh ~/Desktop/TrialReset.sh
5. Open parallels and in the bottom left corner click "Get Trial".
6. Enter a fake name and fake email address. If it says that the trial has already expired, enter a different fake email address.
7. Parallels should now be activated under a trial. Click on file -> open and select your existing virtual machine.
8. You (may) have to reconfigure some VM settings
9. Run the script again as needed.
10. Enjoy!
