Subscriptions are also non-refundable, so once you buy, you’re in. (The subscription cost for the original version of Parallels Access was $80 per year per computer, so the price has been lowered dramatically.) The company offers a free 14-day trial, so you can see how well the package works before committing.Īnd committing you will be, as subscription plans auto-renew, with no way to opt out of the auto-renewal at signup time. With the app on your iOS device and the agent running on your Mac, you just need one more thing: an annual subscription, which costs $20 for one year (or $30 for two years) and allows you to access up to five computers. The uninstaller should be a part of the Mac app itself. To me, this is not an acceptable solution-there’s no reason a user should have to visit a website, download a script, and then execute it in the intimidating Terminal just to remove an application. If you ever want to uninstall the agent, you need to download a script from the company’s web site, and then run that script from within Terminal.
Installing both components is straightforward, though the Mac agent requires you to provide your admin password (as you might expect for an app that lets you control your Mac remotely), and it doesn’t include an uninstaller. On your Mac, you download and install an agent which handles the interactions with the iOS app. To set up Parallels Access, you first install the free Parallels Access app on your iOS device(s), and then sign in to your Parallels account. Combine those changes with new lower subscription pricing, and the second version of Parallels Access is a remote-access solution worth considering.
Version 2 of Parallels Access includes a new file browser, an iPhone version of the iOS app, the capability to use your iOS device’s microphone to dictate to Mac apps, multiple screen-resolution options, and a wake-on-LAN feature.
You can connect either over a local network, or (as long as both machines are connected to the Internet) over the Internet. Parallels Access 2.0 is a remote-access app that lets you view and control your Mac or Windows machine from any iOS device.
