Federico Salvitti Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Create Your Azure Free Account Today | Microsoft Azure Now that Parallel has decided to cut their trial down to 2 weeks and quadruple their subscription cost, can you help us find an equally easy VM for Mac we can use? What other platform would you recommend? 1 Want to know more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Hi Fede, Apart from the complexity of the initial set-up, which would be far superior to Parallels/Virtual Box, Azure would also be a much more expensive solution. There is a free trial, based on credits, but it would only last a few days. For intel-based macs (not M1/2), the free virtual box VM would be fine. For M1/2 (non-intel) macs, where parallels may be necessary, if the free-trial is not sufficient, a student discount subscription to Parallels can be purchased: Buy Parallels Desktop for Mac - Student discount | Apple M1, M2 series Want to know more?

Federico Salvitti Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Thanks, Claire Parallels is not an option anymore, I'm afraid. In the meantime, I'll look for other options with the team Want to know more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 With the student discount, Parallels costs $49 a year, and obviously can be used for any windows application, not just Rulex. The cheaper alternative is to install Rulex Platform on a windows machine in a university lab the students have access to. Want to know more?
