I recently ordered Parallels for my Mac Book Air and realized that there is no disk drive.

I recently ordered Parallels for my Mac Book Air and realized that there is no disk drive to load the software. Once I receive the software can I use the disk code (key) on Parallels website to download it? I also have an iMac can I piggyback it to my Air and install it that way? Thanks in advance.

As you haven't got a DVD drive to install Parallels from the DVD, you have three ways of installing Parallels:


1. Download a trial version from the Parallels website and then, activate it with your product key.


2. Buy an external optical drive and install Parallels from the DVD.


3. Use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US


I recommend you the first (and that's the option you want) because you will get the most recent Parallels version, so you won't have to update it before or after installing the application
