![]() ![]() Deal with routine tasks without having to perform complex configurations Moreover, the app’s icons will also be included in the Dock (there is no option to deactivate this behavior). However, to help you understand which tools are currently active or not, Parallels Toolbox will modify the icon’s color: gray for inactive, and red when active. Note that you are not required to manage the utilities only through the Parallels Toolbox interface: you can navigate to the respective folder and launch any of the included tools just like you would do with any other app. Each of these tools will be displayed in the Parallels Toolbox main panel, and you can launch them with one mouse click. Parallels Toolbox comes with an installer package that places the app together with the entire tools collection in your Applications directory.

Or maybe these tools aren't for a VM at all, but are an independent product for the Mac. So I cannot use them in any case unless I upgrade OS X. I actually use Parallels 11-in OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks. No mention of which versions, besides Parallels 12, these tools work with. Well, maybe it's cheaper than a Parallels 12 upgrade if all you need are the tools.
